Why do I get logged out?

[Finn07]

I log myself in, I go to type a response to one of the threads, and if my response is somewhat long, for some reason I get logged out automatically. I will click on the submit reply button and then it tells me that I do not have permission to do this and Ill need to refresh the page and login before proceeding? Any remedies for this? Thanks.

Click the "Remember Me" button when you log in. I haven't had to login again in

years . You may want to clear your cookies before you click the button. For Windows users, they seem to muck things up at times. BTW, if you ever do come across a situation where you get logged out, if you immediately hit the back button, you should be able to copy your post's text. You'll still have to log in again, but at least your text is safe. In fact... if you go back to the area where you enter your post, then open a new window, log in, and then hit the "submit reply" button, that should work too. But really, the long-term fix is just that: 1) clear the cookies 2) log in with "remember me?" I just adjusted the timeout from 3 minutes to 10, so that should help. I've never noticed a problem myself because I use the "remember me" option.
