Software To Promote and Create Web Content

Many websites in their infinite wisdom continue to log me off "for my protection". Great for them, sucks for me. I want to find a "ping" like tool or other means to keep me logged in until I choose to log off. I am thinking of websites like credit card companies, investment companies, utilities, etc. Of course, it would be great for these webmasters to just allow users to increase the timeout as a option but that would be too easy. Instead I need to suffer. And don't you dare tell me about security -- this has nothing to do about security. I will be at home, in the suburbs, on a non-public PC that I have complete control of. If I stayed logged on for weeks, it would STILL be impossible for anyone to breach my account because of that. Also, if you are hindered by this, please tell the companies often. Maybe, if enough people complain, these web sites will improved so that we don't need to be devious.

Nope. that's controlled by the website and its cookie that it sends you upon entering the site. Its all on their end.

Complainging is the only thing you could hope to do.

Accept session cookies only. prompt for every cookie. There are mozilla hacks for changing the expiration date for a cookie. You'll have to look for them.

Best thing I can think of is to setup a macro utility that refreshes the page every so often by basicly just hitting F5. This will keep your activty from going idle and loggin out. There are many macro softwares out there, I couldnt really recommend one to you.

anyone with basic hacking skills will be able to access any accounts you do not log off of. Dont be fooled, the sites that offer this service are doing this for our safety. I am 2 months into a basic computer course and already have an idea how to get at those files. Imagine what someone with training and a degree can do. good luck
