Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I realize that it may be good practice to compose long posts in a text editor, and then copy them into the posting box, but it's not a very user friendly solution.

What I've been doing, if I'm writing a long post, is copying it to the clipboard before I hit "post," so that if something does get messed up, I've still got it on my computer. Not as annoying as having to open a text editor.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Hmm.

Thread headers USED to display on every page, and there was a request to make that stop. So, like WX, that no longer happens. I'm against them being on every page, because it eats serious real estate.

Post delays -- this is interesting -- I've never had a problem. It will log you out after thirty minutes, but if you have "remember me" on, this shouldn't happen.

As for the stuff disappearing from the post box in IE and NN, this seems to be a server issue, not a code one, and it's something I'm currently researching.

This seems a compelling argument to me, since the information is still available by going back to the first page.

I've had that lost post thing as well after leaving for a while and coming back. Hil's solution works for me.

Never made demo (see Natter). In terms of expiration, I suspect it tries to post before logging you in.

Nope. Must be something else.

Wrod with a side of wrod sauce. Please don't.

I've been using the test board to try and duplicate this timeout error, and so far can't.

Can I have more details? Browser version, length of delay between loading the page with the posting box and hitting the post message button? Is "remember me" set?

Mine was on IE, and I was away for about an hour and a half, with 'remember me' set.

My god. Testing will take weeks!

Maybe if you guys just talked more ...

Yes, I think the answer here is to not, under any circumstances, leave the board for more than fifteen minutes. There. Problem solved.
