How to stay logged in?

[skeptomaniac]

Hello.

I write in the SRP Forum, which means I make long posts that can take an hour or two to put together, by which time I have akways been automatically logged out due to inactivity or whatever. It's really beginning to annoy me now. Is there a way round it please?

I find if you log in to the story section then you stay logged in when you come over here to the Forum / Discussion board

Copy your post before submitting then if you're logged out you can log back in and just paste it

Seconded, if I just log onto the forum it logs me out pretty quickly but once I log into stories then I'm logged in until I close the browser.

Whether you log in through the story side or the forums, check the "remember me" box before signing in. The won't keep you logged in, as the fifteen minute automatic logout will still happen. What the "remember me" function does is automatically log you back in if you've timed out.

IOW, if you go more than fifteen minutes without any activity, you'll be logged out and your last read date/time stamp will reset, but you won't have to go through the hassle of logging in unless you explicitly log out (or the forums crash and your settings are lost.)

The other two ways to "stay logged in" while you compose a new post are:

1) keep any forum page open in a separate tab or window and periodically refresh the page (about every ten minutes or so) so you show some activity and reset the auto-logout counter.

2) Let the auto logout happen and relogin in a separate window (or compose your post in an external text editor and be ready to C&P after logging in) before submitting you new post.

As long as you allow Literotica to maintain a cookie on your system you should only have to log into Lit about every year or so. (make sure you keep a record of your name & password for when you do have to log-in.)

may i please quoth:

for long posts, anything longer than a few sentences, i'm a big fan of composing in something else: email, word processing doc, whatever, then c&p into the forum window. i've been using vbulletin (the software used by lit and a bunch of other forums) for over a decade.

No advice, I just wanted to say hey to sticky. *waves*

Oh!
*waves* back

Of course the other way around getting logged out is to say less

That's my experience as well.

Thanks guys, think I've figured it out now.

I do copy before posting etc and I haven't lost anything... yet.

Simply log in again, then hit the back key as many times as needed to take you back to what you were writing and then send it. As long as you don't close lit what you've written will not be lost.

It's actually the browser that saves the data in cache for what you want to do, not Lit.

As long as you don't close your browser or start a new thread...thread being a new set of forwards and backwards in the browser you will be able to do as you suggested.

Easier way: Once you realize you have been logged out, backup to the page your post is in the edit box, cut the post, login, go to the thread, and open another edit post, paste your text and submit.
