    has anyone else noticed when you have been idle from posting for what seems more than 5 minuted it logs you out what a nightmare that is.
    unlike TSI or ATT where you stay logged in wether you are just searching or posting or not even on the screen looking for half an hour....
    come on screwfix sort this forum out and get it so it dont log you out every 5 or 10 minutes....
    :(

    Why not take a rather large brick and bang it vigorously over head?

    (which is more useful than trying to tell SF forum admins anything).

    vigorously over head?

    Nowt wrong with SF ,bit like the peoples car

    I have been to other sites ( yes honest I have) but there is that much fancy clutter,logos, whatever before you can get where you want to get!!! what a refreshingly simple straight forward site SF is

    It should win an award !

    If thay can't get usful Trade Counter staff i doubt they have decent Internet staff......They don't even have a swear filter they have to reliey on Admin staff to edit every post....Saying that i have turned my swear off on my forum.

    I agree with the annoying timeout time, 5-10mins isn't really a lot sometimes when just writing a reply can take that long then you click post and it asks for password but you have lost all that text or research you just did, not even think about making a cup of tea as your logged out when you return.......its one of the reasons i started my own.

    http://forum.hudsoncarpentry.co.uk if anyone is interested.

    Its also one of the reasons i dont post much these days, i just read and can't be arsed to keep logging to post!

    I bet the time out is something to do with the fact that they hold your credit card details on file here, so you dont input them when you buy something. Unlike the other well known online stores.

    Yes, for your own safety. Bank sites are the same.

    Although they could set up a Talk login only that could be left logged on. Simple.

    Mr. Handyandy - really
