Something I have been working on, still needs a little more testing before I release it into the wild.

So far I've been able to stay logged in for almost 6 hours without any forum activity. It seems that's the cut off when the server decides your session is over, regardless of how active you have been.
Trouble is my QA team (me) can't seem to leave the forums alone for long enough to double check the 6 hour timeout. Or I leave it too long (well past 6 hours).
Once I'm sure of the max session time and the max time I can keep us logged in, I'd like to publish the update.
In the meantime if anyone has thoughts or knowledge about RSOF session times I'd love to hear it
I think the session times are like an hour currently which is annoying. I notice that if I go watch a show or something (generally 45-55min) and then return after watching it, the forums will ask me to log in again.
Definitely could do with a longer idle time before you're re-requested to log in.

I agree, from what I can tell it seems an hour of no activity will cause your session to expire.
Yet regular activity can keep the session alive up to a maximum of 6 hours .
(or thereabouts, I think)
So that's where I'm at with RS Linkify, I have got it to 6 hours max. I was hoping to get past that 6 hour expiry. However, I'm thinking in this case, that's beyond what can be done within the browser.
For the last week I haven't been able to make any improvements, so that says to me six hours max it is, time for an update... sometime tomorrow
