I still hate the time out feature.

One option that may help would be to display a timer in the status area of the web page indicating when your session will timeout.  For example, in the status area of the browser (which is the lower most section of the browser window), the system could display a message such as:  Your Session Will Timeout In:  10 Minutes. 

By using Javascript, the counter could continue to display a real-time countdown - a countdown that gets reset when any interaction with the server occurs (such as clicking a link or something.)

I am a programmer and have implemented this technique in the past and it has helped. 

Hi,

Of all the items concerning the forums to be fixed, this is on top. A request with IT to have this fixed has  been submitted and is in the queue - the item/request is simply behind a large release going out tonight.

Honest.

Yes, the option of "your session will timeout in X minutes" is the direction IT is leaning to resolve. The adjustments within the current programming obviously hasn't fixed the issue.

Thanks for taking the time to offer this -

I kind of figured that they were working on it - working in the it field I know how long it can take to get some things changed.

First you have to find the offending code, determine what is causing the problem, test the patches, submit it through a change control process, wait for any blackout periods where code is not allowed to be changed, and implement the change - then pray it works as ecpected and your computer operators are watching the system and not watching the peoples court on you tube.

The time-out has been set out to 7 days.

Let me know if there are any continuing issues.

Thanks.

Denise

Yeah!!!   Thanks much Denise and all of the other folks who worked on this!   It's much appreciated.
