goose Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 I keep getting logged out, if I leave the computer unattended for a short while or if I am writing a long post. I don't know if it is a problem with the forum or just my broadband..Goose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malign Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 There's a timer, but it should be the same for everyone.I can usually post without getting logged out, but I type for a living. ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose Posted September 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 I think the best thing for me to do is to write my long posts in "word" and then copy and paste them.Thanks Malign Goose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malign Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 That's what most people do. ;-)Whenever I get the "logged off" message, the first thing I do is select all the text I wrote and do an Edit/Copy on it. That's usually enough to keep it safe until you get logged in and you can Edit/Paste it back in. Or, for extra security, you can paste it into another editor like Word, then.I still sometimes lose one. I figure that means the Universe wanted me to think again. ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donna Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 there is a session timeout but if you open who's online in a seperate window while your away from your pc or doing your post it will keep refreshing, and to be on the safe side just copy your post before you submit it and if necassary go back to that thread from the who's online window..sounds fussy but it's actually quicker than having to log back in i used to run a vbulletin site which is how i know and soon worked that one out lol the session length can be extended but for various reasons admin dont always like to do that.
