Well, he said it was not his post...

I've never seen this happening.

 

[Red Door]

It was really weird. It wasn't my post.

 

[GarretSidzaka]

that is because quick reply is just that: quick. it doesnt refresh the whole page, saving you time. but if you were to go back and refresh that page, the post counts should be normal.

The quick reply predates the AJAX updating that we currently have. It was designed so that you didn't have to load another page. When we got the 3.5 upgrade, it introduced the AJAX method where the page wasn't updated, making it a quicker reply.

 

[Mirc]

But this is only for his posts! Someone else's postcount should stay the same when you load a page, right?

 

[GarretSidzaka]

maybe he quick posted between the time the pages were refreshing for you

I wasn't posting, I was scrolling.

Why is there no "Forum jump" thingy on any view profile page ?
It would be usefull when navigating and stalking at the same time.

 

[RegentMan]

You could just click on the thread/forum they're viewing for stalking purposes.

I know, i didn't need to use the forum jump for stalking. I would need it when i'm finished stalking for example.
But i am quite curious ... the forum jump thingy is almost everywhere. (it's not in the Reply to Topic; but it makes sense not being there ...)

How long does it take before you get auto-logged-out? Quite often when I'm typing a long post, it'll make me log back in when I press Post, and sometimes it then loses my post. Just happened now.

I think it's 15 minutes. It's a very short time.
I always get logged out when posting smthing in the D&D thread, my mod, or something more profound mischief in OT.

 

[Turner]

It is fifteen minutes.

When I find I'm writing a longer post I'll open another tab in my browser and set it to auto-refresh every five or ten minutes. This keeps my session active and logged in. If you have another cfc window and no auto-refresh option, you could look at the 'Who's Online' link. It autorefreshes every 60 seconds, I think it is.

Or just click remember me. I don't remember my password because I haven't had to log in for a very long time.

The safest way IMO is to write your post in Word and than copy-paste it to a post. This also catches those spelling errors.

 

[Raisin Bran]

When I write long posts I open a simple .txt document and copy paste my post there every 10 mins or so.

I never got logged out of CFC while making a long post though!
