Timeout Problems

[metallicx]

I am currently using the VBB user table as a means of authentication for users on my site but have ran into a problem. It seems as though after 10-15 minutes the login is timed out due to activity unless I go to the forum during that time.

I have scoured the vbulletin.org forum with no luck finding a means of fixing this problem.

Is there a function or other method that would allow the connection to remain active without visiting the forum each time?

I am currently already using the global.php file via syntax:

chdir($class->sitepath."/forum");
require_once "./global.php";

$class->sitepath being the path to the forum obviously. I can also print_r the $vbulletin session array successfully (which is what I use in cases of needing to check if a user is logged in) $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] != '0'

The problem is that I am unexpectedly timed out after 10-15 minutes and am not sure of what else to do to fix this problem.

Thanks for any help in advance!
