Just spend over an hour writing an update on the 1971 Season, now in mid-September. When I finished and attempted to post it, I got the sign-on screen. Apparently my sign-on timed out, even though I have learned to check the box for stay signed in. After I signed in, my entire post was lost. Like a dumbass, I did not simply copy it to my clipboard, just in case. In the future I am going to have to draft in Word and then transfer.

But the bigger issue is, how can I be kicked off, with no warning, when I have signed in, and I am typing away??This timing out problem has happened before, and I thought I had prevented it by checking “remember me” in order to stay signed in. I can understand the logic of timing out posters who are inactive, but how could it ignore all of those keystrokes.

Busy time, so I don’t know when I will be able to post an update. Too bad, it’s a thrilling pennant race[s] and my Phillies project has been an improvement over the wretched IRL 1971 group, though not going to sneak into the Wild Card. More later.
