timing out on the new site

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?

If it's long & takes time, knock it up on doc & paste it in here

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.
