Re: [AGA-mcm] Now you post it-- now you don't

You don’t have to write the post in another program. Just get to the end of the reply, highlight the whole thing and hit “copy”. Then send. If it goes, fine. If it doesn’t, it’s on your clip board already. Just hit “reply”, then “paste” then “sned” and your’e good to go.

I've tried that method and I don't write on it often enough to remember each time to start writing in some other editor and then going back to the forum to post it. and sometimes, I get interrupted while writing. So I think if we can't change this, then I'm going to quit the forum. I have hours wasted and frankly, there are forums that treat me better.

When I've had a long session of writing on a forum I cut and paste what I typed first to avoid just what you're talking about. It's happened to me more than once. If we can't get the time increased somehow C+P's an easy work around.

Is there a way to change the time-out on the AGA forums? It's the only one were I run into this issue -- if I take too long to write a post, then after I finish wiritng it, it asks me to log in again but erases everything I've written. I know there are workarounds -- like avoiding the forum, but I'm hoping . . .
