This board software does something that is unfortunately quite common, but that I litteraly despise: if your session expires while you are editing a post, you lose your edits when you submit!

I will look into it, to see if anything within reason can be done. The submit after timeout reverts to the [ever festive] default exception handler built-into YAF. Hopefully I can detect the specific condition, defer to a login prompt, and preserve the intended destination (including posted data) across that. I have done this successfully in "classic" ASP. Whether or not it can be done in ASP.NET, we shall see.

In the interim, please protect your work, by selecting all and copying to the clipboard, if you have any reason at all to believe your session cookie has expired.

Apologies in advance for any inconvenience this may cause.
