New thread was lost in the dark

I started a new thread in the Network/Internet section.
It was a bit lengthy write-up so as to provide a good information for my questions
but when i clicked the submit new thread button the page just turned into a blank page(white).
I waited for sometime but later I found-out that I lost my post.

Thanks for the report. Can you tell us what time this was and how long
you took (roughly) in writing the post?

Hi Jim,

I am not really sure about the exact time as I did not payed so much attention to it
but my estimate could be around 30 minutes or more as I am slow in writing and most
of the time thinking the english word to use.
Thanks for looking in to it.

I posted another new thread in the said section of the forum but this time
I shortened it and made sure that I will be able to post it as quick as possible to avoid hang time.

Some people save the post on an local editor before submitting a long post, just in case it is lost.

OK, thanks for the info. Even a rough time might be useful so I can see
if there was anything being done around that time that might explain it.

30 minutes wouldn’t/shouldn’t be a problem - the session timeout is
something like 4 hours IIRC.

Hey Jim Henderson,

Yes, 4 hours. Unless there’s a scenario where someone logs into the
openSUSE or SUSE site, messes around there for a bit, then comes into
these forums to work. The Access Manager login timer would start a lot
sooner than the Forum session timer in that case which causes the issue
outlined in the FAQ. Dunno if that’s the case this time but it’s a
scenario to be aware of.

Thanks for the clarification, Kim - I always forget there’s two timeouts
to consider here.
