i take to long posting something and bang it stops me.
If your going to do a long post do it in word, then cut and paste it, I do that if I have a long post, also many times I will use the copy funtion on a post before I hit post just in case....
dont know how
To copy a link or long post:
Hover cursor over the first letter of what you want to copy.
Press and hold down the left mouse button while dragging the mouse across and down what you're copying until the whole thing turn blue.
click your right mousebutton and choose "copy", then when you want to insert it into your post click the right button and choose "paste".
Job done!
I don't use "word" i use "notepad. Either will work:
Click "start" (1st button in the bottom left hand corner of your screen) then choose "all programs".
Next click the "accessories" folder, and then on "notepad".
Type out your post and then follow the steps above to copy and paste it into here.
Hope that helps mate?
Truth is...i've never suffered the "timed out" problem, and i write some pretty long posts sometimes! A lot of the time i begin a post and get called away or go out for a smoke...come back, finish my post and click "post"...no problem.
Not really sure why some get that "timed out" crap.
(On long posts i DO copy it all before posting..coz s-it happens! lol)
