Logging on

Post by desdichato »

Guys,

I log on, write my post then submit it but it keeps coming up asking me to log on....anything I have written is automatically lost.

Any thoughts?

PS this is the 4th attempt to post a message tonight

I'm not certain, but I think an ordinary user may be logged out automatically after 15 mins of inactivity. As a workaround you could write your posting in a plain text editor and Copy/Paste it into the Forum reply box.

Thanks guys,

Cut and paste etc worked fine but still can't work out why it threw me out in the first place

Thanks again

I don't remember being booted off but clearing the browser cache has cured a few odd situations here.

I think we have extended privileges, acknak, as Admin (in your case) and Moderator (in mine).

I have the "remember me" box checked and haven't been booted in a very long time, even from a device I haven't accessed this site from in months.

At the bottom right of the page, there is a Delete all board cookies link. It may help.
