I wrote a long, thoughtful, useful post, probably took a half-hour to type. When I clicked, "submit", the system tells me I cannot post because I need to log in, even though I had already logged in and clicked, "remember me." The system has some kind of timeout that kicks a slow-typer out, even while still typing.
So, I log in again and click submit, and now the system tells me that I cannot submit since I wrote it before I logged in! The whole epic post cannot be submitted or saved. POOF! It's all gone.
The worst part is that this has happened before, and I have posted a similar protest post as this one before. As before, I ask WHY MUST THIS TIMEOUT PREVENT LONG POSTS? Must I be punished for typing slowly and thoughtfully? Am I hogging bandwidth by keeping the post window open? WHY NOT SHUT OFF THE TIMEOUT FUNCTION!......................elsullo
