Time out

[Swampy]

Just out of curiosity;

Why is there a time out?

[berning]

i'm pretty sure it's for the people that can't handle "it" all of the time.

[Swampy]

sorry mate even if I wasn't half baked right now I still don't think I would have gotten that :-P

Would you like to elaborate please?

After I log in, I click 'New posts'

then start from the oldest post by scrolling down the page then open page two, &c.

the I right click each newest message and 'open in new tab'.

until I get all the posts I want to read, then close each tab after reading it.


However, if I get a bunch of open tabs and post in a lot of them,

by the time I get back to the newest tab, I have to log in again to be able to post something.

So I log in again, write and post until I'm back to the last one.

then I click 'new posts' to see what's new since I last logged in, and start again.


So I guess the time-out is about ten minutes,

it's similar to if you log in to your bank account and your activity is timed

unless you set the time out to 'off', as someone might need to do if they have a disability.


No big thing really, I guess I'm just curious how other folks read the forum and deal with the time-out feature.



Okay so here's a good example;

I just clicked on 'post quick reply' and it said...

The following errors occurred when this message was submitted

1. Your session timed out while you were composing this post and you were logged out. You must log in again to continue.



So then I have to copy all that I've written, re-login, paste it into the text box, then 'reply to post' because 'post quick reply' doesn't work.


It just seems like a fuckabout, that's all.

Thanks in advance if you could explain it to me, I may have asked this question before.

Swampy? is that you?

sometimes happens to me , I figured out if the you do not have permission pops up just click the go adv and it brings a log in page up and saves your message so you wont have to copy it anymore . Well thats how I get around it .
