Did I get timed out

I just spent an hour formulating the most articulate post I have ever created. (probably isn't saying much) When I hit submit I got a message saying I had to log on. Well I had already logged on! At any rate my post disappeared. What happened? I guess the next time I feel like spoutin off I should create my message in word then paste it in the message box. Darn and I was real proud of myself, too.

I'm not positive, but I'm guessing your session limit expired. Login session limits are in place on this site and many others for security reasons, as well as to make things work right (best explanation I can give without all the boring tech jargon). I extended the session limit from 1hr to 2hrs per visit, but I suggest to everyone, no matter what site you're submitting your life's work to , always draft your work using a text editor like MS Word. The Interweb is mighty tricky, unreliable, and unkind at times. I too have lost works that took quite a bit of time to compile because of some internet glitch. Since drafting my longer works on Word, there have been fewer instances of a mouse or keyboard being hurled across the room in disgust.
