Ever get "unlogged in"

[Philagoofy]

while DISsing on a computer other than the one you usually DIS on?

I just spent about a half hour writing a new thread, checking spelling, etc., & went to post but found I had been thrown off & had to log back on. This has happened before on this computer (I usually Dis on another computer, we won't say where though). I've logged back on & it saved my response but not this time. It kept coming up with a message to go back & reload or something. But it didn't work & I lost my long vent post.

I know, some of you are saying "long vent post, glad it was lost".

Anyway, has this every happened to you?

Yes all the time...I don't type very fast. (this message alone took 10 minutes and I got kicked off twice). Seriously, it happens to me so much I now have a DIS post phobia.

One thing I've noticed is that sometimes, when you follow a link to another thread, sometimes you are no longer considered logged in. For example, try opening these two links: You'll probably be logged in for one link and not logged in for the other.

i always assumed it was like timing out. If i read posts for awhile without commenting I often find I am unlogged in - I figured it is like timing my inactivity (since I only need to be logged in to respond, not read).

I don't think it is anything to worry about, happens to us all. But I am sorry you lost your post - I imagine that is frustrating.

It never happens on the other computer that I usually use. I don't even have to log in on that one. I suppose my logon is somehow saved on it.

Its the vbulletin software used on the forum logging you out on a timeout. If you click the "remember me" box when you log in, it won't happen.

I learned ages ago, especially when doing picture threads, which take a looong time to do, but also for any post much more than a few sentences, to first do it in Word or similar, then copy and paste here. The boards here have been skittish for years, as long as I can recall.

Yeah try logging out, then back in, but make sure you hit the "remember me" box. See if that works for you.
