Is There a Time Out On This Site?

Hi,

I am !xihn" mad:mad: :mad: atm as the result of having just wrote a 30 minute reply to this query:-

http://www.woodworkforums.ubeaut.com...ad.php?t=36027

only to find that when I clicked on the "submit New Thread" button the site disappeared:rolleyes:. This is not the first time it has happened recently.

Therefore I wish to know if there is a time restriction on how long you can write for or the length of a post?

Sorry Vlad but I haven't the time to write it again.

Regards
David

Nah, it's just you. :p ;)

Here's a tip, next time you write a post, befor you hit submit, highlight all the text and hit CTRL+C. That way, if you do lose the post you can re-submit it by opening a new "reply to" window and hitting CTRL+V :)

HTH

I learnt that too CB - the hard way :D

very useful information above.

But I think there was a hiccup earlier today, the same happened on a thread I was posting.
Even my server went funny on me asking for passwords and messing about.

With apologies (new member!). How and where do you open a new reply window?

Use Post reply button at the base of message in, or post new thread at top of ubeaut web page if looking at a new subject heading.

The server has gone wheels up once tonight & vvvveeeeeerrrryyyy slow another time, see here.

I have also suffered the 'gotcha' of posting a long reply to have all my slow typing disappear into the myst. :mad:

I think you'll probably find that all these problems are the result of the arrival on the site of Al's alter ego: Randorlf, who has apparently taken over what passes for the Craporium proprietor's brain:rolleyes: . See:-

Time to get the foilies on, fellas!

(Is it Friday, yet, Wongo?)

You may also like to set your email program to check your email once a minute. This can stop some timeouts as the connection is obviously still busy.

Yeahbut Bob, that doesn't help when every other site in the universe is alive & this one is dead in the water. :D

Y'er right Cliff, but it is still a good practice and useful to know about.

yep - been bitten there. Always copy before you submit or preview. :rolleyes:

Time out is 15 minuets.

Al :)
