Question for the Mods

[Stuart X.Hunter]

What's the time-out regarding posting a reply to a thread.

I've just spent about 35mins composing a mini-essay and when i clicked Preview I was told I was logged out and therefore lost all I'd entered. Great.

Is there anyway of allowing a longer duration prior to auto-log-out or should I just compose my words with more haste.

I await your answer

Cheers

If you have clicked the 'Keep me logged in' box when you're entering your username/password, you won't have to worry about that. In theory at least. I never have to enter them when I read the forum.

[NightWash]

Nomen_Luni is correct. Just click the little box next to the login button and you can edit as long as you want to.
But i think one hour should be also a good time for the default. At the moment it is 10 Minutes (i think). I have to search a bit and will change this.

Edit: I found the setting. It is already one hour - i think your post took you longer than expected. You can save a post as draft, so you can edit it later and add more info to it. I think this is the function to use. The post wont show up in the forum until you post/submit it.

you preview?

[Stuart X.Hunter]

Hello Ben, yes I preview for grammar (I really do) and to see that it makes sense (to me at least). Sometimes I even compose in Word first.

Thanks (as usual) Nightwash...i now do re-collect about 4 cigarette breaks and it may even have been 2Hrs. Nevermind...it is in my head and useful as a draft for later...

Cheers

Damn - I thought this may have been a long overdue discussion of lapel widths.

Lol!

And why, every time i open the Outpatients link, it's frozen and says; "It is currently Sun Jan 20, 2008 2:42 pm" ?

Or why is the board now one moderator less ?

[jack white]

and what's the deal with the dates only gigs section? i see 4 topics in the board index but can't access them or that section of the forum and i am freaking out that there have been other tour dates announced that i don't know of!
there was a thread on benicassim that i assume has been moved in there. maybe it's a secret, maybe it's nothing, maybe it's a minor hiccup. i've already lost interest. but i'll hit submit anyway.

I think its a good idea, and the suggestion came from within the Spiritualized camp too.

I can see the topics listed without problem - can't everyone else? If not let us know and we'll make sure it's sorted.

Nope - "You do not have the required permissions to read topics within this forum."

Love,

After some tinkering (sonic screwdriver, etc) all should now be able to check out the latest section.

No idea what was going on there but the ever remarkable Mr Nightwash seems to have made it as friendly as is required.

[MODLAB]

oh boy. Really sorry that the pemissions were screwed up.
thanks Bza! I had copied the exact same permissions from the
original gigs thread. Guess it did not take.

Again sorry to the board.

Best,

M

Havent done anything there

The permission management is not so easy with this board. The more options you have, the more complicated the things are. I think Mod did everything correct when creating the board but maybe its a glitch/bug in the phpBB version we use. Will try to find out more about it.
But it seems to work now - so problem solved. Thanks, Bza
