What's the deal?

Post by eLNunn »

I just spent an hour (I'm a two fingered typist, okay) trying to type up "My Valiant Story". I went to preview it, and was logged off!

I'm pretty tired and *squeed* off at this point!

Do I need to copy and paste everything I submit from here on out, or what?

Hmm... that's one of the first instances of this I've heard of. Normally you don't need to copy and paste, but just to be on the safe side if you have typed a long post it would be best to write it in a word processing program on your computer then bring it over here and paste it in.

Sorry for the problem, but the system doesn't know you're "active"
if you haven't done anything for over an hour.
(Yes, you were typing, but if you didn't preview or submit,
then the system doesn't know that you're typing.)

The only way to get around that problem is to use the
"Log me on automatically each visit:" option when you log in.
That way, you'll never log out.

Welcome anyway... we'll be happy to read your Valiant story
when you get ready to tell it again.
