To the Kingsnake staff. Can you figure out a way to have drafts saved for those postings that get "timed out". I just had a large response typed out and got pulled away for a few minutes. When I got back to it, I had to resign in and it was gone. What a waste of time. Or maybe you could make the "time out" time longer.

Has this happened to anyone else?????

Yes. That's why I use a Word.doc to support any post longer than two sentences.

It should be a simple thing for a computer person to do, by extending the "time out" time.

Hard to recompose a lost message.

I had it happen to me twice and it realy pi$$ed me off. There has got to be a better set-up for the slow typists (one finger).

This happens to me all the time. What I do now is every time I finish writing a post I simply highlight it, right click anywhere on the highlighted portion, a menu will drop down and then I left click on "copy". Now it is saved to your cursor and you can hit submit(aka post message). If your post has timed out you just log back in, hit reply again, move your cursor into the box, right click again to get the menu and left click on "paste" and everything you highlighted before will come back up. Then you just hit submit. I do this on every website I use because they all always time out on me.

Maybe it would just be more helpful if I knew what the time limit was for the "time out", if the webmaster cannot make the
"time out" longer.

you could just draft responses in Word or another program then copy and past them to KS
