logged off while posting new thread - About xda-developers.com

First of all, I can't say how much I LOVE the 'Similar Threads we found' popup when posting a new thread title. Brilliant.
My problem is not unique to this forum. I've wanted to respond to a thread or post a new one, worked at it for a while, clicked on either 'preview' or 'post,' and lost a good chunk of time's work when the server logged me off and didn't let me page back to save my text. Everytime it happens I swear I'm going to get some kind of keystroke saver, that I'll NEVER let it happen again, yet it does.
I don't know if there's an easy fix, but just being able to save that text would save a lot of screaming (I can't be the only one this has happened to). Many thanks on an excellent forum!

This probably happens to all of us from time to time. Of course it's most likely to happen if it takes you a long time to write your post. You likely then suffer from a timeout for apparent inactivity and get logged out.
The golden rule is, whenever you are making a longish post ALWAYS copy it into your PC memory BEFORE clicking send/post etc., as a precaution in case you have been logged out. You cannot rely on going back a page and hoping the text is still there. You should always copy into memory at any time the server appears slow as well, due to the fact it may not be able to process the post at the time you press send.

when you sign in do you click that little box that says something about staying logged in?

When on secure computers I run, I tick to stay logged in. It has not been an issue for me for a good while. If you take over an hour it might complain...
But just hit ctrl+C before posting
Also, chrome seems good at letting me hit back and still have my post

after downloading internet pictures...store/cache/save them?

there was a post made a long time ago, about automatically downloading pictures in the email boxes (whether in imap or pop3), so you dont have to click the "download internet pictures link" every time
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3627632
it looks like that has never been answered, if anyone does have an answer great...
but i'm actually looking for a 2nd thing, is there anyway to download all the internet pictures when you click the link, but then actually have those images somehow stored as cache, or saved in the phone until its deleted. the reason i ask is this, sometimes i have emails that are filled w/ lots of pictures, but they also have a ton of text as well. so i'll read what i can of the email, and if i can't finish it i'll close it. but then when i go back to it, i have to click to download the images again. basically i'm looking for some type or regedit or something that would possibly work, that would allow the pictures to be instantaneously displayed every time i go back to the particular email after closing messages.

Major TP2 Woes

Hello all,
I'm really sorry if this is the wrong place to post this,
but i'm just so frustrated right now and I can't find anywhere else.
So I got my Touch Pro 2 about 6 or 7 months ago. It worked perfectly
for the first few weeks. Then every now and then when I went in and
out of messages a little to often it would brick and I would be forced to
reset it. It kept getting worse. I have to use the quick message (type contact
every time) because i'm afraid going into the threaded message view will brick the phone. The reset count is getting ridiculous. Today alone I have had to reset it four times.
I've noticed in the past month it has been lacking facebook compatibility and
me trying to figure out why has resulted in it bricking many times.
First of all, when i first got the phone i linked all my friends' profiles and set up their profile pictures. But when i added new contacts I couldn't add their facebook account. And I haven't been able to update pictures from friends
that are already connected. So today i decided to hit the logout button on
Data connections. It logged me out and then i logged back in to find most
of the connection between people and facebook entirely gone and all of the profile pictures gone.
All in all it's just plain ridiculous that I can't A - message properly or B - use the facebook compatibility, both of which are things that should just work and not brick my phone. I really hope there is some setting or registry value I can tweak to make it all better. But i realise that is naive so i won't get my hopes up.
Thanks in advance,
Ben
Realistically the only real fix for that is to just back it all up and do a hard reset (wiping it back to the default configuration). It'll be back to how it was when you got it.
Alternatively you may wish to install a HardSPL and flash a new (better?) ROM instead, but that's up to you. Either way it'll require a hard reset though.
first go here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=550131
then pick from one of the roms posted. see which one you prefer. i use energy cookie. ive heard great things about its facebook and twitter apps. messaging itself is on point as well.
heres a link to some roms

[Q] First time poster....hopefully simple question

Hello,
I've had my Evo for about a year now....still not rooted, I know, sorry. I recently rooted my G-tablet, so it will probably come soon.
I'm hopeing someone here can help me (or point me to the correct place to ask) with the sync on my phone.
The other day, the phone started freaking out upon trying to sync with my exchange based email. Gmail syncing works fine, the exchange email works fine on my PC through outlook, and on my Tablet.
When the phone trys to sync it says it needs to download some rediculous amount of emails.....this number goes up every day, as I continually get new emails. It starts to download the emails, but gets stuck at 48, always seems to be 48.
The phone chugs on this until i tell it to stop syncing. I feel naked without my mobile email.
Any thoughts? I haven't changed any settings. I haven't tried to remove and re-setup the email. Maybe that would be an easy fix.
Thanks for any help, I hope to get lots of use from this forum and maybe become a contributor if I actually learn anything, haha.
We, as you haven't done, I would uninstall it, then re-try it, as it could be an easy fix.
Yea a fresh start couldn't hurt so I would give that a shot first. Also, if you have any other questions feel free to ask! You're in the right place! I remember being new here and I was clueless as hell.

The most annoying thing about some web sites.....

.... even this one is
When you click on the Logout button a popup pops up and asks
"Are you sure you want to log out?"
Yes, I am sure I want to log out - that's why I clicked on the b***** Logout button.
Arrrrarrrgh
I hear you it gets annoying

@OP,
What if you are on mobile and you accidentally clicked on it while you were trying to do something like pinch and zoom? The reason why it asks for confirmation is so that, if you made a mistake, you will save yourself from having to put in your password again.
No. It is other people trying to save someone else because they think the world is stupid!

^ Detect the user agent and throw the pop up only for mobile devices not PCs.
It requires a lot more effort to develop different UIs for multiple platforms. It's easy to keep things the same across user-agents until someone complains. Occam's Razor and whatnot.
If this one extra click is causing you trouble then my advice is to not use any kind of software or website ever again. I'm fairly certain that this kind of annoyance will pop up elsewhere and I'd hate for anyone to have to experience such a hardship twice.

I've just returned after a 3 year absence - I see that the Log Out button is still asking if I am too stupid to log out without help. I'm going to find myself a hole somewhere without "any kind of software or website".

Being logged out automatically when replying

Hi,
I was just wondering if anyone else is getting this problem today or if it's just me.
I logged on this morning as I do everyday and when I tried replying to someone it told me I'm not logged in, so I typed in my details again and that same page continued to show until I shut my browser and opened another session. This let me log in but still when I try to reply to a post or even when I tried to view my control panel it logged me out and wouldn't allow me back in until I started a new browser session.
I've been monitoring it during my lunch time session and have had to close down and re-login multiple times but noticed also when looking through threads it was logging me out and in automatically from page to page.
I've tried both chrome and IE and both behave the same way. Thankfully I was able to post this so am hoping it stops doing it.
If it makes any difference I'm on the 2013 theme and I've never had this happen before today.
Thanks
I am using Firefox and I haven't seen that problem except at the very beginning of my time here last year, and then just a few times until it cleared up.

It seems when I have the "Remember me" box unchecked the problem arises but since ticking the box it isn't happening. I don't generally have remember me ticked while on work PC's but as said never happened before so hopefully just a glitch on my side.
Thanks
I am getting it too on my work PC (who knows what browser they use, it so filtered) but I also got that on my home PC (Firefox).
Frankly, it is making it unusable for me atm b/c I have to do all the steps you said above just to post. If I want to post multiple times in different threads, it can take more time to post the message than it did to type it. I've resorted to typing the message, then copying it and hitting post just to be kicked out, re-log in and clear caches/cookies and paste and post. It is a real PITA.
I've tried on 2010, 2013b and 2013b1024 just in case it was a theming issue. Am not having that problem on any other forums or outside internet sites that I have logged into but I have noticed it over the past two days, as well.

Did you try ticking "Remember me" when logging in as sorted it for me, I just had to remember to log out when I finished.
Well, let's see here.
Edit: No dice. Logged me out again. Tried it with Remember Me ticked and unticked.
Edit2: In fact, I just went to my tablet forums and it showed me as logged out. Then I clicked the XDA in the top corner to come back to this thread and it shows me as logged in. Must be ghosts in the machine.
Edit3: Now it is showing me as logged in right now, so I tried to go to the RC forums and got denied. Pulled up my phone forums in the Find Your Device (because I thought it might be something to do with my favorites/bookmarks) and it shows me as logged off. If I open the About XDA-Developers page, I am logged in.
Edit4: Sorry about these edits. I am only logged into THIS THREAD and not About XDA-Developers. I just got a PM and can't read it b/c it logs me out.
I've been experiencing this since Tuesday morning. Both in Chrome and Firefox. I've changed nothing and log in the same way as always. Happens when I try to reply and view my subscriptions. Tapatalk is the only way I can view and reply to anything right now.
Edit - this is happening both at home and work.

This is happening to me too. I can get on once in every 100 attempts. I have tried everything, including changing browser, ip, computer, switching to xda 2010 and back, and ticking the remember me.
It's been happening to me for the last few days, I just ticked remember me, now I'm in for once!
The solution for this is to click the "Remember me" box when logging in. This is an issue that seems to have arisen due to a change in infrastructure on our end (I believe). It doesn't seem to impact all accounts however, just some of them.
If anyone has this issue after checking the "Remember me" box, please let me know.

Yes happening to me. If I clean everything in history of my browser, any browser, it logs me once. Immediately like I would post now it would log me out. It is happening in all the browsers with my account.
After getting logged out. When I again try to login, it would show a popup showing you are being logged in as nagpalkapil but would again not log e in and come out until I clean everything from history again including cookies etc. Has started happening for just last two days and was perfect before. Please help urgently on it.
