Losing posts - time out issue

[GRIZZ]

Now that we have the site hosted and the down time problem is solved, is there something we can do about the time out issue. Nearly every post I spend any time on or have to edit for any length of time causes the site to log me out and I have to copy my post and relog in or lose the post. Several times including once today I have spent considerable time on a post and then lost the whole thing when I got logged out and couldn't get back to the post I was working on.

I have participated on many forums, and this one is the very best, but it is also the only one I have ever used that does this and it has to be a forum setting issue or a glitch of some sort. I know I have complained about this in the past and the last thing I want to do is cause grief to Slab or anyone else that manages this excellent site, but this is a really irritating issue. Yes, maybe I'm a bt windy in my posts, but still very frustrating.

Grizz, I've been fighting frustration with that all along too. This week I started checking the remember me box by the login, and I have cookies enabled, and I've made some pretty long-winded posts without getting logged out. My browser is FireFox 2.00.12

I have also done those things, and I also use Firefox, and they have helped, but the problem is still there and I have still lost some posts I've worked pretty hard on. Its an issue that shouldn't be there regardless of those helps, and I would be interested in knowing why this forum does that and no other that I frequent don't.

Slab and others who run the site please don't take this as criticism or dissatisfaction on my part with crappie.com, because you all know I truly appreciate the site. This particular issue is frustrating and has been for a long time, and I'm sure it is to others as well.

Lucky for me, *I guess, I havent had any more problems since Ed switched over. "Knock on wood!"

When I was having that problem I would just open up a MS Word document and type my reply in the word document and when finished with the reply I would copy the word doc onto Crappie.com and submit it.

I haven't been having that problem lately.

Grizz that something on your end or the way you have something set-up.

I am going to enter this and wait to see if I lose it. 5:58 PM. Came back at 7:38PM and it's still here. I never post a long post so I thought I would try this and didn't have a problem.

Grizz i some time will have the same problem. I now when I think I've gone on to long I copy my post before hitting the post button so if it disappears I just log back in and paste it and all is good.

Grizz, this is a shot in the dark but under User CP, Edit Options, the last item, see if it is set for "Standard Editor - Extra Formating controls"
