...contrary to what most may believe, not all of us are glued to our keyboards typing away answering posts or beginning a thread and pushing the 'submit new post/thread' at light speed.
Some of us do have REAL LIFE happening around us as we type a post, either answering, commenting or even creating a new thread...some of us even multitask while we read, answer or begin a new thread and or post............as I was doing a couple of hours ago when I was up and down doing this or that, answering the phone..etc.
It wasn't a long post, it wasn't a short post...it was however, a post that spoke my truth and how I truly felt about a matter that has really bugged me for quite some time..........after I had the time to finally finish my post (after a very important phone call with my son) I pushed 'submit new post' and guess what? Poof. Gone. Just like that. I had been booted from the site and had to sign in all over again. Pissed me off.
What kills me about the log in time here, is that i can be signed in when NOT typing a new post for quite some time and sitting idle...for how long? I never really timed it because it didn't seem to matter...I was just glad I did not get booted for 'inactivity'...
BUT I do KNOW that my time on the thread I had opened and had already posted on and had addressed another poster on her *cough* absurd belief about a certain group of people in the post that went POOF, had been way shorter time and I was very active every few minutes typing my thoughts, while doing other things (talking to daughter...answering a yell from the other room, answering the phone)
WTF was I fkng booted even though I was active typing my post??? Really??? Yet I can sit idle for about the same time and still be signed in when I decide to come back to this page???
Makes absolutely NO fking sense...none. I haven't the patience to go back to the thread I had lost my post on...
May I please make a suggestion to admin. to allow more time to type a post, or at the least let be known in writing just how long one is allowed to have to start and complete a post so that one may at least be able to copy it just in case he/she gets booted?
