Time Out Issue

crowgyrl · 07-01-2007, 05:27 PM

Hey...

Is there a way that we can change the time-out time to be like 30 minutes? Mine times out sometimes when I am in the middle of responding to a good post at any length. Can we update that? It is an inconvenience...makes me log back in and I lose the post I was working on. =)

Thanks!

Actually been having this problem of late too!! Thought it was my comp but the same thing keeps happening to me- I go to post something and lose everything to re- sign in.

You can say "ass" here Crow!

Nope. Not gonna change.

Reason is that you show online until it times out. I know sites where there appears to be hundreds of people online because the timeout is set for an hour. Really most have moved on.

This is especially annoying with Spiders.

If you check the cookie box (Remember Me) then when you post you will be logged back in automatically and the post will take.

I've checked that box and it doesn't help. I don't see why it is so important not to have people shown as online -- for an extra 20 -30 minutes...

That is odd.

One workaround would be to open wordpad and copy and past your typing into a temp wordpad file before clicking on the submit button and that way if it poops out on you you can just log back in and copy and paste from the wordpad file.

Yep, looks like what I'll have to do since management isn't budging. LOL...

funny enough -- My short term memory is so poor... I logged on and saw "TIME OUT ISSUES" and my name -- thought I'd gotten a time out. lol... silly!

CG- it's definitely your settings...I'm on my work laptop and having no issues at all with timing out.

My home laptop is a mess!!!
