The timeout for the forums is incredibly short. I have lost postings because I took too long writing it and was timed out, having to log back in, re-navigate to the thread, and re-type the post from scratch!
I also like to leave the forums list up on-screen, and refresh it occasionally to check for new posts, but frequently find I have been timed out and reduced to "guest" and have to return to the login page before I can do anything. Any chance that timeout number can be bumped up to something a bit more reasonable? I realize there are probably more pressing issues, but I suspect this is a fairly easy setting for an administrator to tweak in about 10 seconds flat. |

I got so fed up with losing posts that I compose them in Wordpad and cut and paste them in, then modify the layout and add smilies after
----------------------------------------This way it has stopped all the frusteration of retyping long posts Can I suggest that you try this untill they increase the time out Regards [Edit 1 times, last edit by Former Member at Dec 30, 2004 8:13:30 PM] |

I have started just skipping the last "Reply to Post" step for longer posts. Instead I highlight all, copy, log back in, find the post again, hit reply, paste, and I'm good to go. :-) That way you still get to use the formatting toolset.
It would still be nice to not have to worry about it, though.  |
