AARGH!!!! What's going on:(

[mentalboy]

I've just been trying to update one of my refurb threads in 'show and tell'.
I have twice written out a fair bit of text - although not 'teflonesque'- and the blasted site has requested that I log in again when I hit 'submit', thus losing all text. If I can be bothered to scribble it all out again I think I may copy it before trying to submit.
Anyone else experienced this/ know why it's happening??? It's starting to do my nut in.

It happens because the session has ended. Make sure 'Keep me logged in' is checked when you next log in. If that doesn't work dodgy cookies can interfere with sessions so clear them.
CTRL+A then CTRL+C is good as a backup, but are you on a modern browser? This problem seems to be a thing of the past for me now. If I get asked to log in on any forum after clicking Submit these days, I can click Back and the text is almost always still there. Also if you actually do log in (entering the username and password correctly the first time) it usually submits the post you wrote out without having to retype it.

Using IE9 as my browser. I've not had problems before and make sure that I'm signed in before I put up long posts, even by using 'back' tab I haven't had any problems with getting logged out (at least not with low security sites).
I put up a load of my usual type of posts last night and had no problems whatsoever.
Does this site have a timeout scenario in place? Usually I can leave BCF up my browser at the workshop all day long and it's never logged me out - and that's a much older desktop (I think it's running IE7!!)
