Timing Out

[DiMaggio]

I've had a problem of trying to either type out a post or repllying to one and having the baord time out on me. This forces me to log back in and (unless I save what I typed) lose everything I've typed out.

Is there a toggle or something to reset the timing out feature?

Have you tried selecting the "keep me logged in" feature of the forums? This should fix that problem

YES, I've had this problem! So annoying (as usually it's a long post you get timed out on and then lose).

What I do is just hit "Preview Post" frequently while composing. This button seems to reset the timeout "clock" and then I can continue to compose my post. Another tactic is if I think I might be past the timeout period I click "CTRL A" (select all) and "CTRL C" (copy). Then if I am timed out I can simply log in and type "CTRL V" (paste) to get my composition back.

Another way is sometimes the browser back button works and I can get back to the page to copy what I lost. But sometimes it doesn't work and I haven't figured out why it varies so I prefer the two above.

GOOD LUCK!
