I wish, oh how I wish, there was a feature which told you you were logged out when in the middle of writing a post!! :(
I'm timed to log in for 60 mins, and so I may still be logged in at minute 59 - for example - I write a whole post or message and when I go to submit it - I'm told I've timed out and I've lost the whole thing!!!

If you log in using the link in the black bar at the very top of the page you can choose to stay logged in and that won't happen.  You can always log out manually if you don't want to be logged in permanently.
I might look as though I'm talking to you, but inside my head I'm sewing.

I always stay logged in as it's a pain to have to keep signing in. I do it on most forums that I read and haven't had any problems.

@annieeg: go back until you see the message, copy the text and then log in.

I just log in again, then use the back key (on your browser) and then back again to your original post and continue @annieeg .
