I just tried it again and I got the white screen after logging back in. Reload didn't work. I wrangled the back button a few times and backed up to the login screen again. This time after I logged back in my composition was restored to how I left it. So I was able to recover, but not the way I had before with that "restore" selection. Of course, if the "keep me logged in" is a solution then everyone would be advised to use it. On 4/23/2018 10:35 PM, Bill Degnan via vcf-midatlantic wrote:
awesome, you should put this into the forum support section, I will make it a sticky so people in the future can access it. I was thinking of extending the time one stays logged in, given our posts take longer than normal to author, just to make life easier on everyone. I always log in with the "stay logged in" checkbox so this never happens to me anymore, the best solution. b

OK I tried- I started a message and let it timeout but when I logged back in my message was simply intact. So now I don't know if the recovery functionality has changed from what I saw before.

I've had the system timeout on me too- I don't have a screen shot, but after I logged back in, somewhere below the editing portion was a link to recover the last post-in-progress. I forget the exact wording, but several times I have successfully used that facility and continued where I left off before I was "rudely interrupted". Since I discovered it I have not lost any unfinished posts. It is obtuse but it worked. I'll see if I can force it to happen and show you all.
