Time outs are really frustrating after a long post. Rick C.
I'm not sure why you are having a time out problem. How long before you get timed out?
I would suggest if you get timed out, use the back arrow, then copy the text
Then repost, but just paste the text back in. That should be a good work around.
That said, I can't remember ever being timed out on a post, unless I have walked away from the computer for 10 minutes or more in the middle of a post.
