Stop kicking me for taking time to write a forum post

Just spent 2 hours typing up a suggestion thread, got kicked out and had to login again. All progress lost.

Heya Tinlaar,

If you're typing up a lengthy post, it might be recommended to use another program to type it in and then just copy/paste into the forum; sometimes connections are lost and you have to login again.

Did you click the 'remember me' check box when you logged in?

No, but I don't think that checkbox should matter. For any regular website, that "remember me" checkbox remembers the credentials for logging in, and that's pretty much it. It couldn't really save the progress of writing a forum post or something. Even if this website is built differently, there is no good reason for logins to behave like sudo admin prompts. Why logout the user at all? Does a logged in user somehow consume more bandwidth, and the website needs to kick them out to cut costs for some reason? Either way, it's a really cumbersome design for a forum page. I'm not going to open up a word document just to copy and paste it into this forum.
