BBS session timeout length increased

[Rias]

Don't you hate it when you write up a nice meaty post, only for the session to time out? The trick that works for me in that case is to log in when prompted, then hit the back button twice to your original post, where it should still be in the form ... hopefully ... but dealing with that is still awful.

To try and prevent this from happening, I've increased the session timeout length here on the BBS significantly. I haven't tested yet whether the PHPBB config option will actually work, but here's hoping!

At the end of the day, though: It's ALWAYS safer to write up a lengthy post in a local text editor on your computer, and then paste it into the forum when you're ready to post it, just to be sure it doesn't get lost. Whenever I'm writing up a post and I realize it's turned into a novel, I do a quick select-all and paste it into a separate text editor before submitting, just in case.
