Hello Lee,
I have received responses from two people regarding their thoughts on the "time out". Below is their individual thoughts -
First poster - "I would think that we should be able to have at least 1 hour before the system knocks us off and we have to log in again, but even longer would be good.
Sometimes, I've had to go back on the thread for info while responding or I want to google something to check out if I have the right info."
Second poster - "I agree with (first poster). I would think it would be better if they just dropped the log out all together."
Lee, last night I spent over an hour writing, editing, and proofing a post. Of course the system had logged me off when I tried to send the post I had written I had saved the post to MS Word so that I could copy and paste it. But, we should not have to do that in my opinion.
I have been on two other health forums, garden forums and several relationship forums. Never on any of the forums did I have a problem posting. Each post was always "accepted" when I clicked "submit". None of the forums I posted on ever had a time limit.
I agree with the two posters that it would be much appreciated if the developers would eliminate the time out altogether. Even if you go to a 1 hour "time out", can you imagine the pain, frustration and irritation if you spent and hour and a half writing a post only to find you are "timed out" and the post is not accepted and is now lost.
After your upcoming meeting with the developers I truly hope the "time out" will be a thing of the past.
Take care, and thanks for "listening".
Richard
