Kinda sorta new.

Hi people, greetings from Norway.

 

I'll probably be lurking for the most part, but I'll stick my head out every now and again.

 

A couple things; how long is the cookie timeout for a login session? I'm pretty bad at noticing settings, is there one to change it? I seem to get logged out after a couple of hours, I haven't really paid attention to how long I actually stay logged in so, it might be like 24 hours or something.

 

Are there plans for a darker theme? I'm fairly oversensitive to light and white websites are the worst, this isn't bad with the blue and stuff, but a black background, or just darker in general, would be awesome

Midnight sun must suck for you then. Sunset all night. 

 

There is a dark theme for LinusTechTips, don't have the link though

they are working on a dark theme i think

I don't think I have ever been logged out without me logging out myself.

 

There is a unofficial dark theme(I use this)

dark theme: http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/26562-a-dark-theme-for-linustechtips/

 

Pretty sure they have an official dark theme coming though eventually.

 

Oh and welcome

I don't live quite that far up north I prefer winter and the dark though as too much light gives me migraines, hence my love for dark website themes.

Awesome, I'll definitely be using that until there's an official theme

Unfortunately there's no dark theme, it's still gray-ish white background colours which doesn't really help me

Welcome to the forum! For the cookie session you can check your cookies in your browser settings to see the expiry date if you want to stay logged on, remember to check the Remember Me box. I have been using it and it keeps me logged on for quite a while and never been automatically logged out until I pressed log out. The Darker theme might be coming soon. You could change it to the day theme for a darker theme. Go to the bottom left corner and press the Change Theme button and click on Day Theme.

The "Day Theme" isn't dark at all unfortunately, I don't know if it's just easily misunderstood or I'm not being very clear, but big sections of white is not amongst my favourite things to see on websites. I prefer websites to have black backgrounds. I used to love those green one black monochrome monitors, still do actually.

 

My browser accepts all cookies, well near enough, there are some shady cookies that gets blocked, but I've never had any issues on other forums. I might go and delete the cookies for linustech and see if that sorts it out, might be some cookie confusion going on.

You could also try a different browser and/or clear all your browsing data.

I'll just clear out the relevant bits, that is less of a hassle than logging back in to a million sites And it usually does the job just as well as deleting everything.
