Thread: Very Upset

your taking to long to post your thread ..

if you have a very long post, use a text editor on your computer to type it up and when done, copy and paste it into a new post.

most times you can hit the back button on your browser and it will magically reappear, but not always.

That's unfortunate and I guess somehow your connection to the site was interrupted while you were typing.

Why not compose your post in a word processing program (e.g. Word if you have it) and then when you ar ready to post just copy the whole of what you have written and paste it into the message space on this site?

Then if something goes wrong with he connection you've still got the original draft.

Works for me if I am trying to get what I want to say right before I post.

This problem has had me a couple of times, so now I always CTRL+C the post content before hitting submit just in case.

Log outs on this site happen way too quickly!

Incisor can you not extend the session idle timeout to a couple of hours or more? A lot of other forums dish out a session cookie that is valid for days, effectively leaving it to the user to decide if they want log out or stay logged in.

Does allowing everyone to stay logged in slow the system down though??

20 minutes is the 'normal' keep alive time for a session....

I stay logged on for days at a time.
