I apologize in advance if this question has already been posed and answered...

I'm not sure if I'm the only one, but I doubt that. Every time I log in to DP, if I'm not actively navigating through the site, I will be automatically logged out after about 5-10 minutes of inactivity. Is there any way to stop this? I'm a big multi-tasker that loves to read threads on DP, articles on Wikipedia, news, watch YouTube videos, check out my FB feed, basically I have no life. But it gets real annoying when I'm constantly having to re-login to DP every 5 or 10 minutes. Is there a workaround or is this the site's policy to save on bandwidth?

Thanks,
Mensch

Being a multi-tasker at work and reading DP on the side, I second this suggestion.
