Hello

I have this problem and the host says they can't increase session times on a shared server …

Is that right though? Nothing can be done on a shared server even in your own .htaccess file?

That's what I wrote:

If you have access to these settings (ask your hosting company, if and how), you can change it.

If they say you can't, then you can't.

Normally the session life time is something around 30 minutes. If you request a forum ressource within this time limit, the session will not exceed. Together with the cookies, the forum can be set to identify you at a later time (pay attention to the checkbox for "Log me in automatically on this computer" on login page), and the forum setting to allow auto login (set autologin to 1 in the enhanced settings) I can call the forum every few days without the need to login again (and again).

Tschö, Auge
