Timeouts

wow, it just happened again while trying to post this bug.

A couple of times, while crafting a response, my account times out. I get prompted with a new login but the text of my post dissapears.

The first time I tried to post this bug, my description was much longer and it is very frustrating to have to retype it.

I do have a workaound. For the time being, before hitting the submit button, I'm going to "select all" and copy the text.

I've experienced the same thing and but I thought it was due to the editing I like to do on most of my posts. I've learned to copy the messages before hitting submit in case it doesn't go through.

Hmmm...our timeouts are set to something like 2 hours. Is it happening in less time than that?

I ask more out of curiosity than the ability to help, I'm afraid. We won't be able to address this until after the event since our tech staff (all of him) is already up on the playa.

I also do the select all copy, it's a habit I developed way back when I was all about webmail. It's a wee pain, but please bear with it for now.

I haven't timed it but my account seems to time out in 10-15 minutes. Could be my browser though. I'm on an ancient win95 machine running IE 5.5

How's the playa? I heard rumors of rain last week.

you don't have to tell me how sucky it is... but you couldn't beat the price (or lack there of).

well you do put the eek in geek.

You know that Microsoft does not support win 95 and 98 any more?
so any problems you have may not be fixable and also may not be eplaya.

Yep but I do what I can with what I have.

Tancorix, could you ring in with your OS and browser? That should help determine if it's an eplaya or an end user system issue.

IE 6.0.2800.1106CO at work. Home should be the same or maybe a bit higher.
I'm also having the same issues with Mozsilla Firefox version 0.9.3.

Sheesh...I can't type worth a damn today. Mozilla Firefox is what I meant.

Not sure what happened, but my quick timeout problem seems to have dissapeared.
