Since I usually have the poor judgement to rely on the cfapplication tag for maintaining session state, I always get cftoken, cfid, and all that... big... clumsy number stuff... mixed up. I've never had a real issue with a site before, though. My issues with not maintaining sessions have been isolated to one time... CF 3.1.1, where someone had installed 2 instances of CF on the same instance of IIS (NO clue how they managed that) and every other request was being handled by the opposite instance of CF. It took at least 3 days to track the issue down... not because I hadn't been into the services control panel, but because I hadn't read every single line IN the services control panel. One of the CF instances had a very strange name...
But they were sharing connector space and really fouling up the works. Other than that it's been a matter of a wrong setting or a wrong value in a tag... To your original question... every click resets the session timer. It only times out IF they have not commited an action (link, form post, etc.) after the timeout value. And you can use sessiontimeout="#createTimeSpan(0,0,30,0)#" in your cfapplication tag to change that from 1000 days (bad idea) to 5 minutes (probably not the best idea either) or anywhere in between. Look up the CreateTimeSpan() function in the CF Documentation... Good luck!
