Time out!?!

[scanman]

Hi yall! Is there any possible way to STOP this website from loggin me out while I'm typing? I'm PAINFULLY slow at it, but improving. It seems that when I get done typing I cant post cause I'm not logged in. When I log back in, all my typing is lost. Please help! I hate re-typing! Maybe I'm talkin too much!?!

Are you checking the little box that says ..Remember me ??.

I haven't logged out in about 3 months.

Your Welcome. . The only time you'll have to re-log in is ... if you clear your cookie or log off.

Hopefully you won't need it, but in the event you type a crapload of text and realize you've been logged out:

1) Hit the back arrow and you'll see all of your typed text again.
2) Highlight the text and use CTRL-C (copy)
3) Log back in and open your post again
4) Hit CTRL-V (paste)

At least you won't have to retype.

That's helpful, but non-computer saavy people probably won't remember that. If you right click anywhere on the screen, though, those choices come up in a small window. scroll down to copy or cut and left click after highlighting everything you want to save. Go to your new screen, put the curser where you want it, and right click. Everything you highlighted and copied/cut will magically appear, beginning at the curser. I'm not computer saavy, so this is all like magic to me.

Go to your new screen, put the curser where you want it, and right click.

Don't forget, you'll have to click 'paste' after the right click.

I've always found CTRL-C & CTRL-V easier for some reason. 6 of 1, half dozen of another...
