    You took too long. Next time you sign in click the 'Remember Me' box and that will stop the system from automatically signing you out.

    chill mate
    and follow countryboy's suggestion
    i can understand how bad you would have been feeling(but you could have recovered whatever you have read by clicking back space and than a simple copy paste)

    anyways have a nice day ahead
    and try to chill ;)

    yeah, i kinda figured i took too long...

    just not used to being logged out unless i click "log out" never could understand those sites that have the auto logout on inactivity...

    and, in any case, i wasnt exactly inactive i was writing a post.. lol

    oh well, back to the drawing board, will rewrite and post in a little while :(

    Try not to double-post either - you can get into trouble for that. I recommend you delete that second post. If you've not done so already check out the FAQs/Rules.

    well obviously not, but I would prefer to be logged out when I click "logout"..

    I have my computer running 24/7 and am *usually* doing many things at once, it's handy to be logged into sites that I am using and the pages minimised until I need them, it's no biggie anyways, I rewrote the post, had some useful advice, and am applying it as we speak..

    was just annoying at the time :p

    If it's a big long post before you submit it highlight the whole post and then right click and COPY to your clipboard. ;)

    I have had it happen to me so many times before when posting at various forums (usually when there is some kind of error) that I know better by now! :D

    That is your AGS tip of the day and it's great advice. :p
