As some of you may recognize, my posts tend toward the
verbose and (hopefully) thoughtful. I am finding that when
I am trying to help someone, and spend time studying the
problem posed, by the time I complete my response my
login has expired, and re-logging-in dumps my carefully
crafted text (if I am so careless as to not have grabbed
it all into the copy-buffer, before hitting the login box).

More timeout, or making the login process retain active
text-composition-window content, would be nice. Or
a "stay logged in" checkbox as some sites provide.
 

If you check mark the remember me below the login window it will not auto log you out. You will have to manually log out though, closing the browser won't do that automatically.
 

...and make sure if you have any 'clean up' programs or cookie organizers, they do not delete cookies from 'edaboard.com' as this will revert you back to the same problem.

Hi,

That feature is a little inconvenient sometimes. Doesn't "restore auto-saved content" bring back (almost all) text composed before getting logged out? Endless re-writing of emails and other text inputs in form boxes where something has malfunctioned on hitting "send" over the years have instilled a Pavlovian right-click>copy before risking clicking on anything...
 

'Restore auto-saved content' has brought back many posts for me, when I find I closed a tab absent-mindedly. Of course there is no guarantee it works in all cases.
 

Is the solution in #2 also applicable if browser is Firefox 53.0 (64-bit)?
 

I would imagine so, unless you've got cookies disabled it should work.

Disclaimer, I have the 32-bit version installed.
 

It works for me with the above mentioned version, thanks!
