Timing out

[markie]

Hi Brian

A few times now I have been writing a long post and the login has timed out without me noticing. When I combine this with my often collossal idiocy of pressing submit buttons twice I lose what I have written (and your answer may be, "don't press the button twice you dork " ). Any chance of upping the time-out period (or do I do it manually/use auto-login on a browser -a feature I rarely use as I like to memorise passwords not have a computer do it-)

Thanks

Mark

I'm afraid it's an auto feature - the forums update about every hour.

I'd recommend if using your own PC that you check the "stay logged in" when visiting - and also press CTRL+A to highlight, then CTRL+C to copy any messages before sending.

I do the latter all the time, after too many experiences of writing long detailed posts on forums, only to see them lost for one reason or another!

Not to worry markie it's happened to me a couple of times and not just on Platinax.
