That's unusual, it's certainly not an IIS thing. If you tick "remember me", you won't need to re-login as long as your cookie settings work as they should by default.

There's a 15 minute timeout if you don't click "remember me".

Even if you do tick "remember me", that'll make sure you don't get logged out while replying, composing a PM etc. Then you can still "Log out" at the end if you don't want to stay logged in between visits.

It could have something to do with Avast maybe...dunno.
Normally I enter IIS just by clicking on a history link in
the URL window that goes straight to IIS forums screen direct
and I see pic 1 below.

As of 2 days ago I see pic 2, regardless of whether I revisit 5mins
later, 1 min later even with 'remember me' clicked back on.
Weird, but only a minor irritation.

Nothing has changed on IIS - so if both of you are experiencing the same change in behaviour, it's likely to do with common software you're running which may have updated itself recently - like Avast, or IE, or FF, or your firewall, or your spyware scanner, or something like that.

You may have something running like "clean up cached files when I log off" or "clean up cookies" or something which deletes your cookies when you log off, or daily, or something like that.

Also be sure to check your firewall settings and add *.iceinspace.com.au to your "safe" list.

Also check your "security" settings in your browser - if you have it set to a "high security" mode, it won't save cookies which will give you the problem you're experiencing.
