To Yardmaster/Administrator - On some occasions, during a long post (or one where I have to think carefully what I'm posting), when I go to post the message, the system warns me it timed out. What is the time limit before this happens:? Thanks, Dave
Not sure what the time out is. A suggestion would be to type your post into a word doc or into notebook and copy & paste it into the forum - if it is something that will take a while to type.
Yardmaster - Excellent idea. Never would have thought of that. The "time out" message, I think, was generated by the computer the forum is linked to, just a wild guess. Thanks, Dave
Dave,
On the login screen, there is a settable time limit just under your password that defaults to 60 minutes.
I add a 0 (zero) behind it to change it to 600 minutes, then click the "login" button.
This gives me 10 hours before time out.
If you find yourself timed out previewing a post, click the "back arrow" button in the upper left of your screen,
highlight your entire message (left click, drag and release), then ctrl-c to copy.
After you log in again, go to the thread and reply, then left click in the message area, then ctrl-v to paste.
Hope this helps.
Sincerely,
Joe Satnik
Joe - thanks for the info on "time out" message. I thought it was telling me I was taking too long to type my reply, when in reality my log-in session had timed out. I read all posts, as you never know what new things you are going to learn. Dave
