Fix the Auto-Logoff for the Forums

Please, what is it like 10 min, 15 min.

How many of you have actually spent time forumlating a response, only to have it erased, when you click "Post" and then it asks you for your login for your subscription account.

And you can't hit back, since that just brings you back to the forum. So all your time and thoughts are gone.

Most of the time now, when I get ready to type something up, I type it up in word. Then cut/paste when I'm done.

Shouldn't have to be that way IMHO if the auto-logoff for the forums was set to say, 30 min, or 60 min.

What is the reasoning behind the short login time?

P.S. At 3 min, I better post this quick so I won't have to log in again.

We're pushing a code change today, in fact within the next couple of minutes most likely, that if you're logged out before you're able to post will allow you to login above your post (there will be a couple of fancy new login boxes in the actual post screen) saving all of the content and allowing you to post it uninterrupted.
