admin CP timeouts
I did a search and just found on how to do it for regular users, Is there a way to increase the time your logged into the AdminCP. I have been working on templates, bouncing back and forth between windows and it autologs me out. Gets to be annoying. Can I change the settings on how long it is, even if I only do it on a temp basis for security reasons?
Thanks.Tags: None

The cpsession table was added in vB 3.0.2 and the admin login timeout option was added in vB3 Beta 5. You should have this option in 3.0.3, unless you skipped a step in the upgrade process.Steve Machol, former vBulletin Customer Support Manager (and NOT retired!)

I thought there was a new option to increase the default timeout from one hour to X hours.
The reason why we should have the option to change timeout setting is for example.
Forum with 50 000 members. I decide to email all members, and do it in batches of say 5000 emails at a time. That is 10 pages in the admin panel, because there is no Auto-continue option when mass mailing, one has to hit Next Page button after every 5000 emails. Now what happens is say at page 5 ( 25000 emails sent ) i need to step out. I come home 5 hours later, hit the Next Page button to resume my mailing, and BOOM i get logged out and taken to the user password prompt. So i enter my password, but guess what?? It doesn't go back to resuming the mailing, it actually defaults you back to the home page. So now i have to restart my mailing all over again..
Had i an option to increase my timeout to say 5 hours it would avoid this. Also having an option to Auto Continue the mailings to the next page after say a specified amount of time would also kill the need for me to sit at the pc waiting for the Next Page button to show up.
It would make more sence to have an option to send X amount of emails, when done wait X amount of time and do the next batch....
What ya think ???

Changing the maximum Admin CP timeout to be longer than one hour currently requires modifying the code. We cannot officially support code modifications or forums running modified code, however can try searching or asking for help with this over at www.vbulletin.org.Steve Machol, former vBulletin Customer Support Manager (and NOT retired!)

Point being is that becasue the feature is not default on VB it makes the mailing process much harder as explained above. Maybe you could consider it for future versions...
Maybe I am the only one who is using the mail members featureand notice this
Thanx
