Topic: Newbie: Why doesn't visit timeout remove the user?

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding the point of the 'visit timeout' option.  I'm looking for a way so that if a user doesn't explicitly log out, the user is automatically logged out after X minutes -- so somebody else walking up to the computer won't accidentally post as the previous user. 

Is this possible?

Thanks

Thanks.  I have disabled that item in my profile. 

But PunBB still remembered me from yesterday, and I was able to post without logging in again (after well over 12 hours of inactivity).  I have the timeout set to 600 seconds.
