Default Timing out before completion of post

I have had a couple of reports of the forum timing out before people complete their posts. I can't find anything wrong in the settings and don't suffer this myself. I would like to get an idea on the extent of the problem please just vote on the situation closest to your own.

I sometimes get a time out on rare occasions Mike but bigger problem is the system telling me that I "have a security token missing" when I try to post pictures, and that I should contact my administrator- any ideas???

Mike

Can't be sure of how long it takes to time out, but it almost always does within 2 minutes. Posting photos is close to impossible as it times out before they can be uploaded.

I've taken to writing the posts in Word and then pasting them in

Default Trying 'remember me'

I tried ticking the 'remeber me' box.

It wouldn't let me type anything in the 'quick reply' box, so now I'm using 'post reply'

I'll leave it 3 or 4 minutes before posting to see if it it works.......


....OK, 4 minutes in, here goes (isn't this exciting?)

.....and posted at 09.28

I can hardly contain myself!
