time-elapse log-out

[oasis]

Has the automatic log-out been shortened in elapsed time? I know I can be long-winded in typing my responses but I don't remember being locked out when I hit the <submit reply> button in the past. It has happened a number of times recently, however.

Same goes for me

i haven't made any changes up to the other day when i upgrade the forums. that setting my have been overwritten. i will check. not sure what it was, but i will set it to something reasonable. as i have cussed a few times from that problem myself, make it habit with really long posts to copy the content before submitting. i can't extend it indefinitely due to system impacts.

I'm not even sure if it is too short of a duration. It just seemed much shorter than before.

At least, I could hit the <back> button and still retrieve what I had typed. There are some sites that time you out, won't "send" when you hit <send>, and shows you a blank area when you try to go back. Now, that REALLY stinks when that happens at other sites.

well, i have been through just about every setting in this program and haven't found it yet. although i did turn on some other new functions. i will keep looking and post when adjusted.

It happened again. It couldn't have taken more than 5 or so minutes for me to type a response. What's worse, when I re-log back in, my "New Posts" are only listed as those since the aborted login -- this time was one post rather than the 15-20 I got five minutes earlier. Very disturbing.
