Huge Problem posting Threads

[simonr]

If a member is logged in and is typing a long reply or leaves their computer for a moment and presses post, they are logged out. Once typing in the user name and password, the post they typed out should be posted but they recieve a message saying:

Invalid Forum specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator

Tell them to click on the 'Remember me' when they log in. Then as long as they are not blocking cookies, this won't happen.

If that is the only solution then I will ignore this problem...but is there some way to prevent automatic logouts ie. prevent "timing out"?

Put it this way, do you click the 'Remember Me' box? If you do, you know you don't have any problems when posting.

I suggest that you enable the Remember Me as the default so people will use cookies to track their sessions. Here are the instructions for changing this:

EXCELLENT If I had known that mod existed I would have done it earlier. Thanks Steve-O
