Re: Why am I logged off of the Local Guides Connect forum every time I come back?
Hi @Tchoa. Thanks for the feedback, it's not the first time it's been said here. But as @Corrie mentioned recently, this feature enhances security and we will keep the time out functionality (also, if you level up and earn a new badge you need to sign back in and trigger the new badge call).

Having your session expired after 30 minutes was not a bug and it was — and remains — an intended security feature. We have implemented a change in which the security timeout will take place after 90 minutes. Thanks for sharing the feedback.

While I understand that the automatic time-out is deliberate, I would like to point out that it does not provide any additional security. All the user has to do is click on the user icon, not provide a password - so it is merely an annoyance, not a feature.
Also, more sensitive Google pages like Gmail allow the user to stay logged-in indefinitely on the same machine without re-logging in repeatedly.

I don't think this feature is a part of security, because, after a few minutes we are automatically logged out of the system and to login no password is required..
