Is there anything that can be done about being timed out here? If I am in the middle of a post and don't get back to what I'm working on for several hours, I have to log back in and all my info is gone. I have to start rebuilding the post.
I hear some saying already, "well why are you taking that long to work on something?" I work from home on my computer, and if I get busy with work while I am "working" here I should have the option to let the post hang out until I get back to it, right? I was working on posting pics for my signal mirror install and was only about halfway through with the write up when I had to attend some work issues. When I came back to the post I had to log back in and all the info was gone!!
Justice, Zam!! Help!!
it may be a cookie issue on your side Trybe depending on how you have your security levels set. But if you close your browser for some reason during a post you will lose everything you have written.
I would suggest that if you have to stop in the middle of a long post, make a note that the post is incomplete and post it. Then you can come back and edit it later.
I have a ban hammer and I ain't fraid to use it!

Why do I get logged off automatically?
If you do not check the Log me in automatically box when you log in, the board will only keep you logged in for a preset time. This prevents misuse of your account by anyone else. To stay logged in, check the box during login. This is not recommended if you access the board from a shared computer, e.g. library, internet cafe, university cluster, etc.
Thanks once again to the administration of this wonderful place. Pretty cool that you two fellas address the needs of the community with a quickness!! Thanks again Zam and Justice!!
Why do I have to keep logging in everytime I access the site? I tick the box marked "Log me in automatically" but I still have to do it all over again the next time I log on.
Someone out there's gonna get a bill for all my lost time.....

Dear Peter, I have the same problem at work ( shared comp using IE) never at home using Firefox,
what browser are you using, IE or Mozilla Firefox or AOL ( Loser, lol ) once we know what your using then we will be able to help you a little more.
What "browser" am I using? What are you, retarded? I don't browse anymore. I'm a happily-emotionally engaged individual, my "browsing" days are over....
Seriously, I have't a clue. I can tell you that it says "Dell" on the front of the computer......
Peter, you may need to delete all the cookies that have been set by this site and the previous site.
I was having an issue with not seeing the new posts correctly and logins right after setting up the site on the new host. I had to go into my temporary internet files and delete all cookies that were related to astrosafarivans.com and .net, plus any that were set by astrosafari.animegrafx.com. Once I did that, i'm not getting logged out and I see the new posts correctly.
