Why do I sometimes find myself logged out?
Sometimes I am here doing something, go away, and then come back. Is there any timer timing us out? If so, how impatient is it? Sometimes it seems like I am not logged in when I was before. So I go back and try again but by then I've lost my place and don't remember what I was doing. Is there a simple place to tell in a word, not by analysis (meaning mmmmh.... is it asking if I want to post a comment, or is it ignoring me like an outsider, etc, etc) 
Well, there are two parts to this answer, first typical security settings are 20-minutes idle time for an active session. It protects you from having your login hijacked, and it conserves server resources. If you leave that window and come back more than 20 minutes later, you very well might find that you've been logged out automagically.
The second part of the answer is, we've been playing with these settings a bit, and you might find that relaxing as time goes on. We're trying to find a happy medium between security and convenience. Please feel free to chime in if you ahve an opinion.
