#135935 - 12/29/07 07:37 PM Timing out, Blah!
dancer9 Registered: 04/16/07 Posts: 2411 Loc: Arizona	As many may have noticed by irritation, I often write my post on the edit feature, starting it and then going straight to "edit," so as not to time out. I apologise for my needing to do that but I had a question: How long does one have before timing out when posting the normal way? Has anyone ever timed it? Was wondering, for quite some time! dancer, not using edit at this time! LOL _________________________ http://www.annalisanews.com/ "Question your privilege"

humlan Registered: 04/15/07 Posts: 1341 Loc: Sweden	I was just taking some time out from the Christmas holiday thing and the birthday things that we also have. AND I read your post. This is a pet peave (spelling) for me as I have lost some good posts that I was writing at the time. Well, I thought they were good. And then I went BONKERS when they were lost. I have no answer for you. I wish that I did. Maybe Dotsie can help us out when she has time. This has been up before and I don´t think we got any definite time limit unfortunately. GOOD LUCK!!! And THANKS for bringing it up again. It is SOOO INFURIATING when you loose something you really gave your heart to, right? Happy NEW YEAR, but the way, dancer!!!! _________________________ "some sacred place.."

Edelweiss Member Registered: 06/05/06 Posts: 4136 Loc: American living in Europe	I usually write my answer or comment in Microsoft Word, copy it and place it in my post. That way I have an automatic spell check, and no problems with a time out. If it should happen to you, then just press on your back arrow and you can then retrieve your post. Copy it and go in to the thread anew.

Dotsie Founder Registered: 07/09/08 Posts: 23647 Loc: Maryland	I'm sorry but I don't know the answer to hwo long it takes to time out. IT seems to vary, but here's what I do. DOn't fret. All you have to do is use your back button and the whole post is still there. At least on my computer it is. Then all you have to do is cut and paste it into a new reply. It's simple. Try it next time and let me know if it works for you. I hope it does. _________________________ Founder Emeritus of Boomer Women Speak and the National Association of Baby Boomer Women. www.nabbw.com www.boomerwomenspeak.com

dancer9 Registered: 04/16/07 Posts: 2411 Loc: Arizona	LOL, Chatty, That's why I am asking everyone who sees my little "starts," to remember that I'm in "edit," working on my answer! I know it's irritating but that's the only way I trust not losing my writing and using Word seems like such a long step! (Although this dyslexic COULD use spell check, you are all kind about it.) dancing 9 _________________________ http://www.annalisanews.com/ "Question your privilege"
