  • Timeout way too Short

    From KF5QEO@1:103/705 to All on Tue Mar 28 17:48:56 2023
    After I installed Synchronet, I tried to create my account, and it kept timing out, if I didn't press any key for like 3 seconds. It made it really hard to get my account created. I finally gave myself the V exemption, I think, which fixed that, but I can't expect new users to feal with that. So where do I find the default time-out rate?

    This sounds like a bug that was only briefly on the v3.20a development code and has been fixed:
    http://git.synchro.net/gitpushlog.ssjs#2ad81713ca49c58046fd36fd3ee18e700d533d52

    The settings is MaxLoginInactivity in ctrl/sbbs.ini, but it sounds like you just need to update.
