Lost my typing ARRGH

[J_THUNDER]

So I was replying to a post, took me a while to say what I wanted to say, it was level feedback. Clicked the button to preview post - BLAMO - login screen. Apparently I was logged out because I took too long?! Then I couldn't go back to my drafted text.

Am I missing something in settings or elsewhere? I'm new to forums and not aware of what I can do to avoid this in the future. Does everyone just type really fast, or write more detailed stuff offline for posting later. Man that sucked. Help me please.

You need to check the "Remember Me" checkbox when you log in - otherwise, the system logs you out after 20 minutes of inactivity.

Thank you, thank you. I had stopped checking that box because it didn't seem to be doing anything. It didn't set a cookie with my login info in those fields anyway. Little did I know how important this box is. Thanks for the quick help!
