Timeouts

[DavidB]

On several occasions I've started writing a post, but have had to stop for a while to do something else. When I go back and finish the post, and click 'Preview Post' I get told I'm no longer logged on. If I go back, I've usually lost everything I've written.:mad:

I try to remember to copy everything into Notepad before I post, but don't always remember.

Is there a timeout setting in the board, and if so how can I adjust it?

Hi David,

Sorry it took so long to get back to you, I completely forgot about your question... :sorry

The answer is that yes, the Forum has a built-in timer (currently set at 10 minutes). Basically, if you have not been active on the forum for 10 minutes, it assumes that you have left and your session will be cleared.
You can avoid that by being active (ie opening another window and browsing...).
Unfortunately, you are not able to change that setting, but I will increase it to 15 minutes.

Cheers,

Franck.
