Hello!

As a non-native English speaker I tend to formulate my postings rather carefully (read: slowly), maybe a bad habit that hangs over from my working days. What happens is that when I’m logged in and finally satisfied with the wording and try to send the posting the website reacts by asking me to log in (again) for sending it. In other words I’ve been logged out automatically and the text has disappeared. Of course, copy/paste will always save the posting and a new log in is not such a big effort, but it would be nice if the log in page had the option to choose the duration of one’s log in like some other forums do have. Or do I just not notice it?

Hi,

When you are logging in tick the “Remember me” box. That seems to disable the time out.

Les,

thank you! So the answer was there right in front of me. Too obvious to notice?

Hi,

I am just passing the tip on. Someone else told me about it. I originally thought ticking the box automatically logged you on on subsequent visits as it does on some other sites.

Les Jones is quite correct – it is important to tick the “remember me” box otherwise you will get timed out after 20-minutes. If you are using the same browser and computer all the time this shouldn’t be too much of a problem.

For some reason I now have to log in every time I open the website and the remember me is not there anymore.

Any suggestions.

I think you will find that is to do with the Cookies …

To comply with recent EU legislation; the site requests your explicit permission to use Cookies.

If you have not given that permission, then "Remember Me" is not an option.

Hello all

I find it easier to compose answers to any online work such as e-mails or this site in Word then do a copy and paste. Many reply boxes do not have a spell and grammar checker and the lack of pressure from timeouts or broken internet connections allows me to be more reflective on content.

Or you may have an alternative to 'Word'. We Mac users have 'Text Edit' where you can type and save your text in 'plain text' format and it copies and pastes seemlessly into the forum box without all the formatting baggage that Word carries. I'm sure there's something similar on those other kinds of computers

Too true – it's called Notepad on the omnipresent PC.
