Timing Out When Posting????

[bostonphil]

I have twice now received a message that my session has timed out when trying to reply to a post on Forum. I am not able to post my response. I have had to copy my response, go back to the members' post, paste and then I have been able to post my response without any difficulty.

Anyone else having this problem.

I've had it happen rarely. It usually when I start replying then forget to actually post the reply

Yes this happens to me somtimes, when I take too long to post.  I type with one finger (lol)

I have had this happen to me today. It was weird as I have not experienced this before.

I had a similar experience today, too.  I didn't notice a timing out message, but could not get my words to post.  I would click "post" and nothing would happen. I could go the the "preview" option with no trouble, but not the "post" option. I finally copied my post, went back to the thread and started from square one.  The second time I tried, it worked.

This has happened to me -- usually on a long and detailed post.  Finally got into the habit of doing a right click copy just in case the post is timed out.

never had that happen

if I have a long post i type intoa notepod or word doc 1st then copy it into the posting area.
when submitting a post i always click post I never preview it.
sometimes i geta message that someone else has posted to the catagory then I just click post again
It may have timed out a couple of times but it has never been a major problem.

I have never seen that, I didn't realize you could time out while posting.

As a matter of fact, yes, I have been timed out of my forum session several times.  I haven't been able to figure that one out.

I didn't know you could time out on the Forum.The only place I have ever timed out is on Tasks.How much time does the Forum give you until you time out?

I didn't know that posting on the forum timed out either? I have never had it happen.

Hmmm never has happened to me.  But, my post are not that long.  Maybe it is with the long posting only?  Hope it all works out for you .

I think it usually happens if others are posting at the same time.... it is to give us the opportunity to read other posts in case we want to change something.....

I do not know what the problem was but it has not happened for a while. It is all ok now. When I was having the problem, I had to copy and paste my post. I was never able to post the original. The problem also happened within a very short time period. I did not spend a lot of time writing a post. 

I am glad that the problem got corrected.
