From: The Bunker (you know where) | this board is NOT phpBB3, that software is still in BETA, we run phpBB2 and have since june. so your whole "phpBB3 session timeout" premise is wrong before you even open crontab. the 03:00 boot is real though, i have screencapped the logout three times this month and it sits in my cluster with the rest of the timestamp evidence - you are late to your own observation TechAngel_00
