While typing in, or pasting the text to somewhere with a spell checker and pasting back I find that the session has timed out and as Guest I can't post and my text is all lost.

Before I press OK to post I now must highlight and cntrl-C to insure the post is saved.

I'd like to comment on it, but I'm afraid I get logged out while typing another batch of nonsense

Greetz,

I am using Firefox 3 and I do not seem to have those problems.

Status: offline 		Faster time out is not only while trying to post. Even just reading a long post is enough for not being able to change to another thread or sub forum. Everytime have to close my browser (firefox 3.0). Matrix webside seems to be the only one with  this behavior. Not even The Wargamer acts  this way. Its is annoying.

Regards

today has been very bad

and just in case, just happened about 5 minutes ago again

Also, what if you click the Post Reply button to bring up the reply window, but then close it without submitting it. Does that log you out too, or is only when you actually try to submit the form?

I'm using Firefox3 as well, and still cant replicate the problem.

it can happen when I try to post, it can happen when I am reading a post, it can happen when I am in the forum, just sitting around

Status: offline 		just posted a screen shot, and two posts explaining what it was showing, then when I went to finish the 2nd post it logged me off

twice it wouldn't let me log back in, the 3rd time it did (had to shut down fourm and come back)

and it just logged me out before I could post this

it will show me successful log in, show my name at the top of the post, when I get to the bottom of the post to write something, I am already logged off

I had to go to IE to try to post this

In the meantime, you can also log in using cookies instead of sessions by ticking the "Save as Cookie" tickbox. This should help the situation, and prevent you from being logged out when the site loses its sessions.

Hi guys, I have updated a setting on the server.

I type address and get in forums. I'm automatically logged in, some cookie thing from previous session (save as cookie checked).
I read thread about Marc's wedding. I typed (another) reply. Post didn't pass through, I got error. That was just minutes ago.
I hit back button. I log in, prepare post (again), it goes through.
I read this forum up to quote above. I type this reply. Let's see what happens now when I hit OK...

[edit]
Post went through on first try... this time
I'm using IE, as usual. Have had this problem few times before. But now it's happened in TWICE in this week!

I am reasigning a cookie each time it logs me off, and it still logs me off

right now with Netscape it is logging me off before I can reach the bottom of the post, I am on IE to try and post this

I cleared cache in firefox (välimuisti in finnish if it was correct) - hopefully that helps - usually it does.

You may need to shutdown your browser and log in again, but let me know if it keeps logging you out.

Status: offline 		Was AFK a bit , 10+ Min and it timed me out..

Simply trying refresh (cookies enabled... WORKED in old times) failed

Server not found













Firefox can't find the server at www.matrixgames.com.








* Check the address for typing errors such as
ww.example.com instead of
www.example.com

* If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
connection.

* If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.








Had to close FF and restart to get into forum again

This is NOT like old site where I could go AFK for a hour and still pickup my forum reading right off!

If a New Hosting Company, its bad
