re: #171 freetoken

What I do for my longer posts here at LGF, and wherever I post something that takes me longer than 30 seconds to write, is to save a copy of the text before I post.

It helps me overcome (daily) with the log-off problem here^*, and generally with blogs everywhere, given the vagaries of blog software.

_{^*Which just happened again, with this posting’s first attempt!!}

That log-off problem happens because of the Javascript timer routine which performs periodic tasks — refreshing the comment count, the Now Playing section, the auto-updating last comments on the front page, etc.

Some of those functions require going through the log-in checking code, and sometimes the timer-based Ajax script happens at the same time as you click the ‘post’ button, things get confused, and your login expires. I know what the problem is, but haven’t found a reliable solution yet.
