timing out on the new site

Post by davie »

Since we have moved to this new set up, the British & Irish forum logs you out if you have been inactive too long

I just discovered this also happens if you are writing a lengthy post and take to long doing it.

I just attempted to start a new thread with a lengthy opening piece and when I hit submit it asked me to log in, when I tried to go back to retrieve my post it had gone.

I am now fcuking raging.

Could the admins see if there is a setting for how quickly the site logs you out?

Or just fix the site so people can post more than 140 characters without having to log back in every bloody time

it's a poor set up and there must be something in the setting of the site that can be changed to allow posters a reasonable amount of time to write longer posts

If I have to open a word document every time i feel like a rant I'll find another forum to post on

Anyway, better stop rambling now before i time out again :witzend:

Care to consider persons that try to access the site/forum while you're hogging it knocking-up a novel?

Relax, don't do it.

Just copy your essay then paste it and go through it.

Checked with the boss & he confirmed "timing out" doesn't exist, therefore stuff-up at his end.
