This is a complaint about the Matrix site signing us off prematurely. It seems like the time you are allowed to be logged in has been shrinking mightily and I was just logged off while composing (a very important, perhaps earth shaking post [:D]) so that when I attempted to post it it was lost. That's all.

I don't have any control about that, but when that was happening before (and on another site with a short timeout), I highlight and hit Ctrl+C before clicking OK. If it timed out on me, all I have to do is log back in and hit Ctrl+V to paste what I wrote. Bill

RogerJNeilson -> RE: Time out (7/9/2013 6:08:36 AM)
I have been caught by that before, and not just on this site. Its a common timeout feature. Depending on which browser you use the addon Lazarus is a very useful thing to have installed. Roger

For my AAR posts I use a text editor anyway. BTW Notepad++ is free and really good.

Always best to compose in a text editor not on the forum then copy and paste.... but there's a world of difference between what you 'should do' and what you do do - in my case. Lol. Roger

tocaff -> RE: Time out (7/9/2013 11:58:25 AM)
I compose my AAR offline using Open Office, log onto the forum and then drag and drop. Of course all bold, italic, etc. must then be redone. I never suffer the time out this way.

Lokasenna -> RE: Time out (7/9/2013 4:05:07 PM)
I'm having issues posting with the Fast Reply down at the bottom. Even if I just loaded the page, every time I try to use Fast Reply it tells me I timed out. Have to go 'Back' and copy, then paste into 'Post Reply'. This just started happening yesterday or the day before.

blubasso -> RE: Time out (7/9/2013 4:11:22 PM)
I use, when i finished to write evey post, Re or as starting Thread, to right click and copy my messages. Since i write in several forums i noticed that in 60% of them the time to write is short. Right click to be sure i don't need to rewrite, than Enter. If the page close the door i repoened it and paste the same message. Easy and clean...

Odd, in ten years I have never timed out in spite of some very lengthy diatribes. Perhaps they are sending you a message....[;)]

The differences people are seeing may have something to do with different browsers and/or different operating systems. But then I ran into problems posting this... Bill

geofflambert -> RE: Time out (7/10/2013 4:11:52 AM)
I'm just sayin' all the amazing magnum opuses I've written have been lost to history because of this and because I can't remember what it was I was writing about. [:D]

Coleridge had the same problem.... Roger

I do tend to use an editor if my post is not what I consider a quick response such as this posting.

witpqs -> RE: Time out (7/10/2013 5:30:34 PM)
I've gotten them in different browsers. Not here that I have seen so far, but where I had a bad Internet connection I would get them mostly when the connection was bad. I think it's the link between you and Matrix, not the browser.

Lokasenna -> RE: Time out (7/10/2013 7:02:26 PM)
My browsers haven't changed at all. My suspicion is that it's the Matrix servers and/or the connection to them, as I frequently have issues loading the page only to have it work on the second try. It's like packets are getting lost, but I haven't checked that as it's just a forum...

This has been so for along time, maybe since the last time the forum software was updated.

This has been so for along time, maybe since the last time the forum software was updated. This sounds like my experience. A lot of times even the refresh doesn't work, as if it's continually timing out. Can be frustrating when I have a lot of posts to catch up on, as when the refresh doesn't work it's usually/sometimes because it does something funky with the URL. However, if I stop the browser from attempting to load the page, it preserves the URL and then I can try a regular refresh until it works.
