Forum Log off
Recently while on a forum I was logged off and had to re-logon.
This is the detail: I was replying to a previous post, my reply was quite lengthy. After completing my reply which took about an hour (thinking what I wanted to say, typing it and then editing it) I hit the preview button to see how it displayed on the screen before actually submitting it. After hitting the 'preview button' I was taken to a screen which required me to re-logon, which I did. It then took me back to where I was typing only to see all that I had wrote was gone. I complained to the forum Admin and they suggested it may be my computer settings. I suspect the forum itself timed me out. Are there any settings in my XP pro that would cause a time out on a forum? I think this unlikely. Mickey |

Forum Log off
Thanks DL, I thought as much.
Mickey "DL" address@invalid wrote in message ... The only setting in win is one that disconnects your internet connection after a period of inaction, and then you should have a popup to warn you. Many sites that require a log in will disconnect you after a period of no activity, eg Bank sites, composing a post constitutes no activity, after whatever period is set in that site So its a setting specific to that site "Mickey Mouse" out wrote in message ...
