For some reason, the board won't let me stay logged in more than the 6hr minimun. I try to change that option, but it just goes right back as soon as I log off. Can you help?

I believe this board uses a "cookie" file that is placed on your computer with an end time.
Then you can leave the computer on and surf elsewherer.
When the end-time is surpassed, you get automatically logged out. If you log out manually then that cookie file also gets cleared.
There should be a way to clear these types of cookie-files manually in Windows Internet Explorer, under the tools-internet options tabs. Other programs I am not familiar with how it's done.
I could not alter the login options in the administration controls of this board.
I'll look into the proboard support forum on this feature and maybe learn something that can be applied here, as I've never played with the feature.

I checked the support forum for this place about this issue and a couple areas of solution were suggested.
The first thing to do is to confirm that YOUR computer's date and time matches very closely to this board's. A big time difference between the two could cause these issues.
A work-around may be to use the stay logged in "forever" option.
It was also suggested to clear your computer's cookie file and ensure that cookies are enabled for use on your internet browser.
From the support forum FAQ:
Problems Logging In
I login fine, but when I click a link it logs me out!
