Time Out -Auto Log Out

Recommended Posts

Is this normal ?

I was typing a reply to a thread, which took 1/2 an hour to compile and complete the relevant info. When I clicked submit, I was requested to refresh the page and log back in.

When I did so all the information I had typed into the quick reply was gone. Talk about frustrating.

Cheers Cookster

It is quite possible. While you are typing in the text box, the site doesn't know if you are still interacting with it or not. It's a standard security measure on most sites so that people don't walk away forgetting that they are still logged in (i.e. internet cafe). There should be a save draft button that lets you save as a draft as you go along before publishing the post.

Thanks Nogi .... All that info typed and lost was annoying to say the least.

Enough to discourage retyping it again :P

I've had similar experience, BUT blame the iPad for the issue, as I refreshed the page without ensuring the reply was actually sent. Admittedly, found re-typing it for the 2nd time a lot quickr, and response was better...so go on Cookster, give it another go !

Nogi is correct in that the forum has an auto timeout feature which is in place

To optimize the browsing experience for every user.

If you do get the screen saying you need to log back in, just log in and reload the same page!

Although it may log you out there is also a auto save feature that saves the work you have done

And once you reload the page it will automatically load the saved work. Providing you have not gone else where

On the forum or tried to open a new page.

I think there may even be a tab at bottom left of text box that asked if you would like to reload auto saved content!

Awesome Dean, Thankyou

I am not one to give up easily and I joined this forum to be an active contributor and knowledge recipient... I will try and load the page again now, but it is probably too late, as I have been to several threads since then and left replies :)

Also thanks Bluebolts, I drew on my memory for the info I was supplying to a thread, and when I lost it all ... I got a little 'angry' hahaha ....

So lets give it another go, and I certainly do appreciate the encouragement :encouragement:

It worked ;) ... at least some of the info was still there in the auto save restore function... Thank you for directing me to that VERY useful feature...

An old dog has learnt a new trick today

Cheers:triumphant:

As BB said, great work dude, any contribution you have for this forum is an awesome one. The great thing about this forum is everyone has either great questions or great answers, or in Master Yoda BB's case, great foresight. I know it's a bummer as it's happened to me dozens of times, especially when I'm uploading pics to photobucket & come back to the forum only to find the info gone. I love the "restore saved content" button, saved me a number of times :victorious:

      Good to have an update and good to hear you are getting shrimplets, so hopefully your colony will continue and you may not get to the point where you have to cull some to stop over population. These type of shrimp only live 12 - 18 months so the adult deaths may be natural? If you have the time I would do weekly 25% water changes, adding the new water via a drip system and do some vacuuming clean of the substrate each week, even if only a different bit each week! See if that helps in a few months and if it does then stick with that regime? It should help reduce any build-ups that may be occuring!

      Hello again, much belated update: The tank still has "cycles" of 1-2 month "good streaks" where everybody seems to be doing well, and then a bad streak where the short antenna problem shows up again, and a shrimp dies once every few days.  I am not sure what causes things to go bad, but usually over the course of a few days I will start to see more shrimp quietly standing on the HMF filter, and so I know something is wrong.  Since I am not "doing anything" besides the regular 1-2 week water changes, I just assume that something bad is building up.  Here's a list of things that I've tried that are supposed to be "can't hurt" but didn't prevent the problem either: Dose every other day with Shrimp Fit (very small dose, and the shrimp seem to like it) Sotching Oxydator Seachem Purigen to keep the nitrates lower Keeping the pH below 5.5 with peat Things that I don't do often, so could possibly "reset" the tank back to a good streak, are gravel vac and plant trim, so maybe time to try those again. One other problem I used to have was that sometimes a shrimp would suddenly stop eating with a full or partially full digestive tract that doesn't clear out, and then the shrimp will die within a few days.  I suspected it was one of the foods in my rotation - Shrimp Nature Infection, which contains a bunch of herbal plant things.  I've had this in my food rotation for a few years now and generally didn't seem to cause problems, but I removed it from the rotation anyway.  I don't have a lot of adult Golden Bees at this point so I can't really tell if it worked or not. Overall the tank is not too bad - during the good streaks occasionally a shrimp will get berried and hatch babies with a 33-50% survival rate.  So while there are fewer adults now, there are also a bunch of babies roaming around.  I guess this tank will stagger on, but I really do need to take the time to start up a new tank.  (or figure out the problem)

      If that is the offspring, then the parents are unlikely to be PRL. I tend to agree with you. There are very few PRLs in Australia. And any that claim to be needs to show proof. PRL genes have to start as PRL. CRS that breed true after x generations doesn't turn it into a PRL. Neither can a Taiwan bee shrimp turn into a PRL despite how ever many generations. I've never seen a PRL with that sort of red colour. I have on Red Wines and Red Shadows - Taiwan bee shrimps. So somewhere down the line one of your shrimp might have been mixed with Taiwan bees and is no longer PRL. It just tanks one shrimp to mess up the genes of a whole colony.

      Sorry, missed this one somehow! The PRL look fantastic and the odd ones look part PRL and part Red wine/Red shadow in the colour. They are still very beautiful but ideally should be seperated to help keep the PRL clean if you can do that.  Nice clear photos!
    • GtWalker97
      Hi SKF!   So I bought some PRL (or at least they were sold as such. These claims are dubious in Australia as people don't know much about the genetics, nor do they care as long as they can make a quick buck). After 8 generations of breeding true, I'm having around 1 in 200 throw a much darker red. They almost look like Red Shadows, but I don't know too much about those types of hybrid. Can anyone help with ID'ing the gene?   TIA (First 2 pics are the weird throws, second photo is their siblings and the last photo is the parents)
