Check Your Default Settings

So you set everything up ready to render over the weekend (in my case multiple scenes using Backburner) and you head off home, happy in the knowledge that when you get back on Monday all is well and good! Well that was the plan and instead when I got in all I saw was lots errors instead of renders. The cause of the problem? Well it turned out that I had forgotten to change a small setting under the Edit Settings inside of the Backburner Queue Monitor. This setting was a time-out option set to 600 minutes, so as soon as 10 hours passed the render would cancel and start again. Frustrating considering the renders I had set up would take at least 20 hours each, so a default of 10 hours was not good. 

So I thought I'd write a small post to hopefully help / remind people to check all settings and especially the default ones, because you can be sure you'll forget at least one.
