timeout

I've had this error twice now: Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in /var/www/web1/web/forums/includes/functions_autotagger.php on line 272 First of all when trying to post in the snow thread and then when trying to delete my duplicated post. I'm using Chrome BTW

Can someone confirm how long the session time-out is on this forum? I seem to keep getting logged out after a minute or so of reading around the forum, it's begining to get irritating. I don't remember this happening in the past and was just curious if something has been changed. cuprablue
