How does the site determine when you have been "idle" for too long and you should get BOOTED OFF... quietly, without any warning... and ... what defines being IDLE? It's very inconvenient to be timed out while you are writing a comment in a group discussion thread, and find out it is deleted when you click on the button to post it... It looks like you are still logged in until you click on the submit button... then, POOF, your comments disappear into cyberspace ...so, you have to log on again and try to remember what you just said... if it was a long post, you might decide to shorten it or just forget about it altogether...  which is a loss for everyone.  :-(

    If posting anything longer than two lines, I click and copy so as not to lose it if suddenly timed out.There is no set time for being logged out. It seems to be a random thing wether you are active or not, and can happen anytime from a few minutes of signing in, to a few days.

    ... I just remembered... It was a good idea to make a backup copy, while composing a reply...  but I forgot, just before making my comments above. . . However I thought it was a fair question to post to a general audience... if for no other reason than, as a warning to anyone else who is new on this site.

    Web servers have a limited number of online sessions that it can support at any one time without affecting responsiveness.  Lots of factors go into it but essentially, timing out an inactive session is just part of the capacity planning a web site needs to do.  Otherwise, the costs of their infrastructure goes up.
