Logging out by itself

[Alex]

Well, it just happened to me one minute ago. I was browsing the Civ3-Help forum and had just posted a response in a thread when, suddenly, the thread was loaded (after the "thank you for posting" screen) and my post was there but I was logged out. It is not the first time it happens to me. I'm using Mozilla Firebird 0.7.

Someone is eating my cookies while I'm browsing...

Only the first time this has happened to you?

It happens quite frequently with me. I believe it can be caused by server load issues.

Don't know how I missed that part. Sure you didn't add it after the fact?

Just another senior moment brought to you by our rapidly aging moderator.

You're not old, you're the Master of Reason.

As for the logging out issue, I think that your explanation makes sense, and I'm relieved to know that I'm not the only one who suffers with this. I was starting to think that it was related to some obscure option deep inside one of the config files in Firebird...

This happens every so often to me.

Indeed, and it is annoying as hell.

I find it most irritating.
Many times I log in to reply to something only to find that I have to log in again as soon as I try to submit it.

I have absolutely no idea how people like Vel (who types an awful lot more than I do) manage...

Ctrl-C + Ctrl-V?

[Skanky Burns]

Decent browsers (all I have tried that aren't IE) will keep your post so you can go back, log in in another window, and then post your large reply. Easier than using ctrl-c with every single post, or indeed even retyping every post where this occurs.

if i have lots of things to post, then i usually write in a text editor (even something as simple as notepad) and then copy and paste.

Yeah, If it's long enough, I'll use a text editor, but I have also made it a habit to ctrl-C a any post more that a sentence or two before submitting it, even though me browser will still have it if I go back.
