    Before an update a while back i only had to login to the site every 6 months or so after selecting the "remember me" option.

    One of the updates in the past month or two has caused the session timeout to reduce to what i think is two weeks. Would be be possible to revert this back to 6 months?

    What are the chances of this session timeout being increased.

    I believe this is part the security requirements for allowing the social media sign-ins, but I'll check.

    If it is, I'm afraid it'll have to remain as is to allow us to use them, but as I said, I'm not 100% certain on how that's all put together so I'll find out tomorrow.

    Cool.
    If it does end up being a social media requirement then i dont believe it would be a major issue to create a longer session if just using the standard boards login and not the social media login.

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
