Cookie expiration time is 1,036,800 seconds, which 17,280 minutes, 288 hours or 12 days.

Cookies also expire immediately on the old PC, if you log in from a new PC.

As for this being "the only forum that I have to re-log into every couple of weeks", what a load of rubbish .... quite common to have a cookie refresh requirement.

This was a recent thread topic which I thought '500nigel' whined about then too ...

John,

I have never seen it on any other board except this one.

When I took Website Design class last year in college, they did mention that some types of forum software did have this cookie expiry feature. It could be set for the log on to expire or for the cookie to expire. The advice was to have the option of log on to expire, but not have an expiry on cookies when you built your site.

Most browser now have some sort of log on capture feature that captures user name and auto logs you on when you access a site. It only functions if the user says yes to password user name capture and if the cookie hasn't expired.
