Since I use the remember me option, I usually have to do this, but I was moving some old threads (pruning every year makes too many threads in the section), and I got this. So as usual I put in my password. Then after that, I get it again. It won't go away, don't know why. Help?

btw - chances are, you won't be able to answer this if you've never been a mod on VB forums.

That's a feature of vB. It is to make sure that you really wanted to perform that action, but if you log out, it will reset. Being inactive for a specified time will cause it to reappear as well. It's incase someone else in your family goes to your PC then starts trying to cause havoc in the forums

I know this because I owned a vBulletin forum.

Thanks! So basically if you get off and leave your account online it will do that to you, right?

Yep. Usually it will be either an hour or 15 minutes or whatever time has been specified by the administrator. This applies to the AdminCP as well as it's a security feature incase your session is hijacked or if someone tries to cause trouble under your account.
