It logs out after 15 minutes of inactivity... the old forum software logged you out too. But it let you see new threads without logging back in. I am guessing this is part of the issue for members. Having to be logged in to see new posts is a bit of a backwards step from what we are used to.

The old software had some advantages but the new site as a whole suits the promotion of the HJ business as a whole. The forum just needs some more work over the next few weeks.

Yup, I'll second that. The old forum seemed to remember me and I could see what was new without logging in again. I can't see how a car discussion forum can be a "security issue". It's not as if I buy things here, it has my cc details or personal info. Someone might post as me? Big deal, if that's all a hacker has to occupy them then it's keeping them off the streets and stopping them hacking banks.

Other forums I use in a similar vein remember me so why not offer it here? It's usually a tick box. If you want to login every time, don't tick it.
