Hi all,
Vanilla are planning an update to the site on April 24th (next Wednesday). It is a major PHP8 update which is expected to boost performance across the site. The site will be down from 7pm and it is expected to take about an hour to complete. We appreciate your patience during the update.
Thanks all.

    Annoying issue now resurfacing when replying to a post.
    If the reply is any way long,when the submit key is pressed I'm directed back to the login page.
    As a workaround I have to do a select-all,copy and then paste as a quick-reply,which is a right PITA if you happen to be on a roll.
    Any suggestions as to whether it's site related or is it time to get a new Commodore ?

    If you are being logged out, this would suggest that you are a) not ticking the 'Stay logged in' button when signing in and b) taking quite a while t post a reply.

    Can you try using the 'Stay logged in' button and see if this helps? There was an issue with it recently which is now resolved. (Not yet resolved so it may not appear on log in screen for you - team are working on this)

    Also, there is a time out of (I think) 30 minutes on writing a post so if you think you have spent longer than that, copy the text before you hit 'Post Reply' just in case.

    How can I? User's guide to some features on the new site

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
