I'm using YAF forum version 1.9.3, Everything is working fine for me..

But when i logs into the forum after giving username and password and if i leave the site idle for 3-4 minutes. It is logging me out and redirecting to Login page.Why is this happening so?

I even changed session timeout for forms authentaction section web.config file, even though there is no luck..

can anyone please help me out about this issue??

Awaiting your responses.

Thanks,

PAvaN

any help please...i've tried it out myself but no luck yet..

Thanks.

Are there any event log errors?? ie. ViewstateMAC Failed

3-4 minutes is very low, but depends on your hosting Co.
