Timing Out

jet57 · Sep 11, 2016

So, one problem that I've noticed is the timing out while your making post thing.

It seems that the timing has shortened... The phone rings, or there's an interruption; you come back, finish your post and "submit" --- gotta log in again-- post is gone...

I've lost some pretty good posts over it. Any suggestions?

Hard to remember at first. But, when the phone rings or a mail comes through mark all and copy. That way you don't lose it.

Yeah, I have done that as well when I think I may time out, but like you say 'hard to remember' or you just get surprised.

That's really odd. I've never ever been automatically logged out. My IPad opens a new window all the time. Sometimes I have 30 windows open. Ten might be DP. I've never gone back to an old window and had to log back in.

Did you check remember me? I never even have to enter my password...

Oh yeah, I 'remembered me' years ago. Like I said, this thing is kinda new, but it happens so often that I decided to ask about it.

I have had instances where I've apparently clicked the right button and logged in and the post was saved and submitted automatically... but to say how that happened would just be a guess.

It is because you hit the submit button and when you logged in, it completed the submit process. Does your screen saver or power settings have something to do with it maybe? Possibly one of those is triggering the log out when they kick in.

I thought it was Putin.

I found out this morning, that there are two login windows if you time out, and if you login the large lower window, your post goes up and you're fine.

So it seems good now.

Thanks
