Forum timing out/posts dissapearing

Post by Bankai »

When clicking either 'preview' or 'submit' button, the forum times out and resets to log in screen. This started to happen about 1-2 months ago and is quite annoying as I don't always remember to copy the post before submitting (previously it only happened when submitting very long post while nowadays even a few-liner can time me out). I already lost quite a lot of time having to retype stuff from scratch. Is there a way to tinker with setting as to not log off users so early?
