I think that the session expiration is too short here. This is a post primarily out of frustration because I was spending solid time writing a tutorial on database design and by the time I tried to post it, my session expired and I lost all of my post... which is least to say... annoying. It wouldn't have been an issue, but the login process BROKE when I tried to login to preview the post. Since it broke, POST data was lost and when I hit back to get to the compose page, it brought me right back to the login page again. Needless to say... all gone.

Don't think I'll be posting any tutorials or indepth explanations of anything here any time soon until something is done about that. Wasted effort.

just select all and copy before you hit submit
or type it out in notepad and then copy and paste it

thats what i do with long posts.
who knows whats going to happen

Or select the remember me option. I never have to log back in, except on other computers.
-m

I understand your anger, but to really change the configs for such a small matter looks pretty useless to me. Just see this as a learning experience, next time you will first write something large in notepad. :)

It's a shame that your tutorial is lost though!

(PS, maybe the post information is stored in the access log of apache?? Wink wink wildhoney)

Double post... sorry!


(when you use quick reply the post still remains in the textarea, that can be confusing)

+1 for rasing the session timeout to either 1800 or 3600 seconds =)!
