Lack of advisory with option to re-new log-in while typing long response

[Guanabanus]

A lengthy note about plant importation was just lost, while my picture and "Hello Guanabanus" in the top left-hand corner seemed to indicate that I was still logged in.

Had this happen many discouraging times.  Not sure there is a fix within the forum format.  One solution is to do your longer posts in a Microsoft Word document and then cut and paste into the forum post.  I don't bother when I am writing something short.......but when I am going to get verbose...which is all too frequently, I use Word.

The few times that this has happened to me (clearly I am not as verbose as Harry), I've hit the back button, copied my dissertation, and then re-logged in and pasted the text. Definitely a PITA, and I'm sure that Sheehan has something to do with it, but it has saved me from having to re-type my text.

Thank you for the technical saver methods.

I am not sure why it's doing that but I will look into it. Warren's method is the method I use whenever I lose a post I was working on. The back button is usually able to get me back to the post I was working on.

I looked into the problem, and it took about 45 minutes of inactivity to cause a timeout. I reset it to now be around 60 minutes of inactivity to cause a user to log out. Let me know if you guys think it should be longer. Sorry for the inconvenience it has caused you Har, and everyone else as well.

Thank you, Sir!
