SFM time-out

Does anyone else get frustrated by the timeout on this website? I cant count the number of times I have to log on again. I can understand the security need, but at the very least we should be able to set out own inactivity time-out values. Pretty please SFM?

I agree, but we are all human, will set the timeout to 2 days, and then security runs out the back door.

I think the time out is a must especially if you dont log off and just close explorer with a long time out you are leaving the back door open to security risks as hackers are always on the lookout for open gateways.

ah, thanks Simon! looking forward to it. and other guys, obviously there needs to be a maximum too, but 30 mins is at least better than the current 5 or 10 minutes...

it will most likely be set at 20 minutes but like the online banking will warn you before logging you out.
