Timing out when writing long posts was created by Michelle
Hi All,
I have just written a very long post detailing my experience with the phone assessment I had today, as you can imagine it took a great deal of time and as a result I was timed out of the forum so my post was not submitted. I was devastated and thought that I would write it again tomorrow in a word document and then copy and paste in into a post to avoid being timed out. I then continued to read the current posts and went to reply to a recent post and discovered that my new topic post was already in the reply box so I was able to copy the whole of my written text and then paste in onto a new topic which was then successfully submitted. I know this has been an issue for a lot of people on here and I don’t think it was a fluke that it happened this one time so should this happen to you, go to reply to any post and then copy and paste your written text into a new topic so you don’t have to write it all over again!
Sincerely hope this helps people.
Stay safe,
Michelle xx

Hi Michelle
I am always getting timed out, what I do is copy what I have typed, log back in and then paste the comment. I must get timed out 2 or 3 times each day, the first time is very frustrating when it happens but you learn what to do to get around the issue.
If you are going to write a long post then I would recommend you write it outside the forum on word or notes and then copy and paste it on the forum.
