Why does the the forum freeze and make me loose my posts?

[He who knows more than Nation]

Why, after I write a long post and try to post it the forum tells me I need to log in again and I lose a nice post in the process? It hasn't done this in awhile and now I've lost like 10 posts this week? Fairly frustrating.

It happens occasionally on all forums I go on tbh.

I can't quite pinpoint it, but it seems like this stuff is happening more often after a certain someone came back after like a 2 year sabbatical or something.

Same here so it isn't just this place. Maybe the gay vb updates or some shit.

there's gotta be an auto-logout after x number of minutes setting somewhere. I don't see why since it's a forum and part of being on a forum is sometimes posting long diatribes.

You auto logout after 15mins, used to always happen to me and piss me off, now I just open two tabs and leave one of them on "viewing online" so it keeps me logged in until I get off, haven't lost a post since I began doing that tbh.

Never happens to me with the logging out thing. But I do lose posts when the forum freezes/crashes in general. Pisses me off tbh.

Really? That is weird my account doesn't do that. And my test member account doesn't either.

While viewing a thread or posting a reply you'll time out after X amount of minutes... I think if you're idle on the main part of the boards it'll leave you on.

This is a simalar problem I have had since day one. The timing out after x number of minutes, but I do think its longer then 15min. But its something that happens unfortunatly. The way to avoid being logged out and losing your post is to click the remember me box when you log in. The only down side to that is, although your post goes up, it still acts like you logged out and logged back in and any new posts you still had to read are not flagged as new anymore.

I'd rather that happen than to lose a post. I've used the "remember me" box since I started cause I would lose post. And if it does say you logged out and logged back in, alls you gota do is click the "Today's Post" link and it'll all pop back up.
