All these inactive auto logouts are so annoying! I'm on multiple tabs here and there and it sucks that only the RS website I get logged out from while others not!
Personally, I don't see any issue with the auto logout feature. Most times, I'm able to refresh the page, navigate to another, or otherwise do
something
and stay logged in pretty much all day.
When I do get auto logged, it's either because a) I stayed on pretty much all day and hit the 6 hour session length limit or b) it's because I was too busy doing something else and was inactive anyways and there's no reason to leave inactive users logged into something.
In either case, I take all of 10-15 seconds to reauthenticate and I don't find that to be too much trouble.

Food scientists have finally managed to remove the mint flavor from gum! The ex-spearmint was a success!

So just because it takes this amount of time doesnt mean it needs to be changed.
Plus you've proven throughout this thread it very rarely happens.
The thing that annoys me: I'm in the forums, if I leave and come back I have to sign in again. Push the wrong button, forum closes, need to log in again, answer a phone call or text need to log in again, check a news post link or facts need to log in again...
