Idle log out?

I'm used to being logged out from no activity but today seems different. In the past when writing a really long post it would happen. Now it seems even after a short reply I have to log back in to post. It doesn't seem consistent though not sure if it's on my end. Any ideas?

Hey, Josh:
The forum does log users out if they've been inactive for one hour. It sounds like there may be an issue, though with your session cookies on the forum. Please try to clear your cache through your browser's settings. Alternatively, you can also click the lock icon in the address bar and then follow the next steps depending on your browser.
Firefox: click clear cookies and site data.
Chrome: click Cookies (Remove any cookies showing), and then in Site Settings clear the data (cookies) showing under Usage.
That should give you a clean slate and correct any issue with your session.
I hope this helps.

Just had it happen a few times. I login in to make a quick post then when I try to submit the post I have to login in again. This is all in the span of about 5 minutes.
Edit: it actually happened trying to post this lol.
