Since the recent alteration of the forum, I keep getting logged out. Is there any way to increase the time or keep me logged in at all?
I'm afraid not. Volunteers have to do the same thing 😟

THe theory is that the shortened time is a security feature.

Not in Safari, The timeout length is ±30 minutes. I found that it is particularly annoying when composing a post, as it will not Post when logged out in the middle of composition.
I use Firefox and a FF add-on called "Reload Every" - applied to a tab or window, I set it to 'Custom' 20 minutes. You must apply it every time you start FF (from the 'context' menu (ctrl+click). Note that the Tab or window needs to remain open at all times (could hide it in the Dock) for it to work. I haven't been logged out since adding it to FF
The very good reason for the login timeout is that some people use their devices in very public places - school, work, coffee shop, etc. - and may walk away from it (particularly a desktop) for a period 😊 Because AppleID is used in the iStore(s), being logged in may become a security risk,
NOTE: There is also a time limit to be able to Edit your post. That seems to be ±15 minutes

Introducing a security feature that inconveniences many in order to cosset a few? Doesn't seem like something Apple would do..... 😉
Several Hi-Levelers have posited that it has something to do with decreasing server load which was apparently a problem in previous SiteSoftware version(s). I don't understand how being logged in and just sitting there uses any server resource, but it what do i know. FF+RE solved my issue with the matter.

Any way to stop being logged out of the forums every 10 minutes?
