Just realised something though...and it could be an improvement to the software.
When you get to the bottom of a long thread, can we have a 'Discussion' button there as well as at the top. That means we can look at all the threads without having to go back up to the top of the current long thread.

Espada III - well if you have a family and need a Lamborghini, what else do you drive?

Seems to work very well, but if I write a long, considered reply (yes, even I do it sometimes) it's annoying when you need to log in again and it deletes all the text.
Is there an easy way of making this time longer, or is there a reason why it's quite short?

Details of how to recover / prevent it happening are mentioned in Announcements.

The auto timeout used to be approx 20 mins, unless it's been recently changed. No idea why it's not longer, but I wouldn't have said 20 mins was quite short to be honest.

Thanks, Dave. It seems to be more like 5 minutes, so perhaps it's to do with the web server at the office.

Yes, good suggestion Espada, as "back" on the browser doesn't refresh the page like clicking "Discussion" does.

You could of course just press the "Home" key (top row, middle, in the group of six keys, or key number 7 when the Num Lock is turned off) to take you back up to the top of the page to get to the Dicussion link.

Agree 100%, a real improvement. Otherwise a "back" button, or a "go to" drop box.
Also I vote for an "edit" button.
Otherwise all works fine.

I always launch each thread in a new window from the main index. That speeds up downloading time.
