Problem With Automatic Logout After 30 Min Of Inactivity
I've been having issues since this Dell community introduced automatic logouts after 30 minutes of inactivity. I would like Dell to increase the inactivity (timeout) period to 60 minutes to ensure users don't have their login session aborted while trying to compose a reply.
My problem occurs if I am composing a reply in the WYSIWYG editor. Any time spent typing inside the editor apparently does not count as "activity" and on a few occasions when I have clicked the "Post" button I see the message below warning me that my session expired. Clicking the "Refresh" button doesn't work and I remain logged out of the forum and my reply is lost/aborted. On a few occasions when this happened this also caused an issue with my Firefox browser where any new tab I opened (even if I was browsing to another website) resulted in a connection timeout and forced me to close and re-launch my browser to get it working again.
Things seem to work correctly if I log in to the forum but just browse between topics or post a short reply. If I haven't viewed a new topic or refreshed the page I'm sitting on within 30 minutes I see the pop-up below with a 2-minute countdown warning me that I am about to be logged out. If I allow the countdown to reach 0:00 min I am automatically logged out (and see the "Your session has expired" warning in shown in the first image above) and my browser continues to work as expected.
