Ack, I really don't like this system. 
We changed to it elsewhere and then changed back shortly after due to how it affects the User CP's index. I like having links to threads I've just replied to in my User CP as it's how I keep track of most things.
I think a better solution which would allow us to keep threads we've replied to in the list (I mean, they aren't bold anymore once you read them, so it's not like there's any confusion) would be to change the "New Posts" to "Today's Posts". At the other board I admin at, we actually have both links available in the Quick Links drop down menu.
It would also save a slight bit of stress on the database (although minor).
For reference, to change "New Posts" to "Today's Posts" you change this link:
http://forum.cricketweb.net/search.php?do=getnew
To this:
http://forum.cricketweb.net/search.php?do=getdaily
This means even if you log out in 15 minutes, you can still get a link to all the threads that have been posted in during the last 24 hours.
I do however agree that the logout time could be changed to 30 minutes instead of 15. It's very simple to do (just a field in the admin CP) and some of the threads around here are very long and if you have enough posts, it takes some time to read through - it would be helpful if you didn't get logged out every single time you spend 15 minutes reading a page.
