Dear all,
Tried to put a story on here. Logged on, took about half hour to type the story, submit new thread, computer says not logged on, log on, story gone, half hour wasted.
Anybody help?

The new system seems to log you out if your gone for more than 5 minutes,
so if your going to be writing a book.(joke) best to copy and paste or file, In case you are logged out.

my system was logging me out after about 5mins also,but i have since cleared all my cookies and now it is back to normal,i have stayed permanantly logged in for 2 days

fime

I haven't needed to log in since the server was changed and then that was because I was redireceted to the new server, and when every thing was sorted I haven't needed to log in. Well I have to go and sort the kids tea out but I'll prob have to log in now I said I had no bother lol

Thanks for the replies. If only I knew what a cookie was! Jim, is it easy to cut and paste or too much for an idiot like me?

Hold down the left mouse button and drag it over the text you want to copy. It should now be highlighted. Then EITHER right click the mouse and click "copy" in pop up menu OR hold "CTRL" and "C". This is just the keyboard shortcut.

To paste, simply right click again and select paste. If you wish to use shortcut it is "CTRL" and "V".

Hope that helps.

For the record i have not had to log in since i started using the forum. Just logout and then log in again and select remember username and password. Easy as that.

Thanks very much Scotty9. It worked, now I can bore the pants off of everybody just at the click of a few buttons!
Thanks for your help mate.

I've had this kind of thing happen to me before, very frustrating. For the reference of anyone it happens to again, sometimes (though not always) pressing the "Back" button on your browser will take you back to the page where you were typing and it may still have what you wrote. Then you can copy and paste (as above). Log back in and try again.
