Name: Admin Control Panel Session Timeout Exceptions - Version: 3.8.100
Description:
This product can except some staff members from "Admin Control Panel Timout", so they can stay logged in Admin Control Panel and not forced to re-login every hour after inactivity as default vBulletin behaviour.
As every admin know, if he didn't do something in his Administrator Control Panel through an hour, then he will be logged out automatically, also if he closed the browser & open a new one later & try to acces ACP. In both cases he will requested to re-login to the ACP also if he is still logged in the forum itself (The forum not the ACP). It's a security hardening that vBulletin apply on the AdminCP. But there is some Administrators that hate this routine & hope they can stay online in their ACP as soon as they're already logged in the forum. That's why this product comes out. It will allow Administration to determine which staff members should use this product & be excepted from the default vBulletin routine & still logged in their ACP as soon as they're logged in the forum itself.
Use this product if you're really really needing it, and be informed that using it should be at your own risk.

You're welcome.

You've to take care of the simple-one-step edit step.
If you do the edit in a wrong way it will display an error of course, but if not it will work more than fine. It's fully tested on all 3.7.x/3.8.x versions & proved to work very fine.
