Login timeout is too short
Maybe it's just me but it seems like if I leave the site for a few hours, I get logged out. Can we increase the timeout?
I don't think anyone would steal an unattended FT account and I have seen banks with longer timeouts. Hell, even Gmail/Inbox keeps you logged in for a month or so. If someone can access your email, they can reset all your passwords including FT.

I browse FT in Chrome on Windows 7 and 8 and have been logged in without interruption for at least the past few months. Looking at my flyertalk.com cookies, "bbuserid" and "bbpassword" are set to expire 365 days after they were placed. If everything goes as planned, I should only log in once a year.
Is this happening on a mobile device or a desktop device, and what type of browser are you using to access FT? I wonder if your browser is having trouble storing your FT cookies.

I wasn't clear from your post - when you log in, are you checking the "Remember Me" box (or whatever it's called - ironically I can't remember what it says there LOL)?
