Question: Automatic log out from Pokecommunity?

[>Feelings<]

Whenever I'm not doing something in PC for a while, PC logs me out automatically.
Does this only happen to me, or is it really supposed to happen to any inactive member?
If this is supposed to happen, then why is it necessary?

That happens after 15 minutes, if you tick the remember me box, as I believe you know, you will no longer be logged out for inactivity. Or, if you'd rather not, you can view the who's online page while you're inactive or always keep a tab with the who's online list.

Hmm... what is the purpose of this? To prevent someone else gaining the control of anyone's account somehow?

But anyways, the other idea seems to be good. I didn't know that you don't get signed out if I view the "who's online" page...

If you're on a shared computer (e.g. school, library, Internet cafe) and you check 'Remember Me' then a person navigating to PC will be logged into your account.

As for the Who's Online page, that automatically refreshes every one or two minutes, meaning you won't be signed out.

Well, I knew that already. Heck, not only outside my home, I even clear the cache while I'm in my home because it's my habit.

I didn't know this part earlier. Where do you get to know these things from?
