    forum related question

    Is there a way to edit the amount of time you stay logged in?

    I'll be on the forum, and if I decide to make a new post I can't take my time in doing so because at some point I'll no longer be logged in. So, I'll have type up a long detailed post, hit submit, and then get taken to the forum index because I was no longer logged in. It would be nice if it would prompt me to log in again, and then post the message, but it doesn't. So I basically lose everything I typed up.

    I'd post a reply but I just got logged out.

    I've been griping about that bit since day 1. Now if I do a post longer than 5 words I'll ctrl-c it before clicking post, or if I forget, back page, copy the text, then re-login and post then.

    Honestly it's really irritating.

    Yeah, that's been an ongoing issue for me as well. I've gotten to the point where if I'm making a long post, I just do what Shane does and make sure I right click and copy before clicking post.

    I like how ih8mud has their setup. If you get timed out, you won't lose what you've typed....just log back in and post.

    i never get logged out. but often times, stuff happens where i end up losing a very long post.

    i always type it out in notepad, copy paste it over, and click post. if it comes up, i can close notepad, if not, i still have it on the computer to try posting again.

    Yeah... Every time I've used the back button the post is gone. Maybe CTRL+C is the way to go.

    Thanks for bringing up the 'keep me logged in' button. I forgot about it because you can't choose that from logging in on the main page, and I don't know how to get to it otherwise. Where do I find it?

    I've never had a problem, but I've got the 'keep me logged in' button clicked too.

    It's a small check box right below where you enter your password. It's on the homepage.

    The only time I get logged out is when I update firefox. Are you guys using the "keep me logged in" feature?

    Nope, the computer I use is accessible by others as well, so I don't keep it logged in.
