Session timeouts set too low

    I have noticed this myself. If I don't click "Remember me" and type a long post then by the time I hit reply I've been logged out.

    Others have mentioned this in various forums too.

    Can something be done about it, especially since Paul doesn't seem to be able to leave himself logged in all the time and his time is limited?

    The session timeout is 15 minutes. Increasing it has performance implications, so it's not going to happen.

    Judicious use of "Preview Post" will keep you logged in if you're not in a position to use "Remember me".

    Thanks for the reply Conor. It's a small annoyance for me to be honest, but it's happened to Paul several times today.

    Would it be possible for somebody at Boards HQ to let Paul know that he needs to use Remember Me or Preview Post in order to stop him losing his long posts? I'm fairly sure his boards.ie forum knowledge is limited, his PM privileges don't exist and I can't post on the only forum he seems to be viewing :)
