Hello to all. I notice that if I am at the quick notes consoul or anyware at the zone it will time out if I'm idel, that is, not doing anything for some amount of time. the thing will kick me off and I have to log back in. Is there a way to prevent this as this is highly anoying.

Thanks.

the zone has only kicked me out twice and both times it was because i was reading long board topics. one time i made a post in the topic and got angry when i got an error and had to write the whole thing out again! but i can see where this feature is useful. a lot of people access the zone from school or college computers and if they forget to log out or they go away and do something, someone could start messing around with their account and the user in question might even get banned. but there could be a combo box in ur account settings that allows u to choose how long u must be idol before the system kicks u out.

it's a bit of a pest when on mobile devices though, where load times are slower. i think there might be a good idea in having a, logging in from mobile? check box, then the site would not chuck you off

or perhaps they could create a site called m.zonebbs.com which would be designed for mobile devices with less power and for people who have to pay data charges.
