Just lost another long reply to a forum thread because of the cursed timeout bug on this thing.

How long were you typing? I thought the timeout was 20 minutes.

I'll check if we're still cycling the app pool.

At least 10 minutes, off and on (I jumped out on MSDN to verify my solution). It seemed much longer after I lost what I was typing. :w00t:

Steve, is there anyway to have the posts written to cookie BEFORE doing the postback? That way if the session timesout, the cookie can be read and the answer reset in the post textbox.... or even resubmitted (would have to see what is the best alternative).

I'll report this and we'll see. There was a recycle set on memory, but it's been removed.

What's that?

you can recycle an application pool in IIS based on worker threads, memory use, time of day, and some other options. We used to recycle a few times a day and I think there was a leftover recycle based on memory leaking (or use).

Thanks for reporting the problem. I'm not sure it's a timeout. I know the old site had this problem, but I haven't been able to reproduce it on the new site. For example, I started writing the post above and left the window open for nearly 4 hours before clicking "post" and it worked fine. In testing I can restart my server machine entirely while a different PC has a "post" window open and it still goes through without problems.

If you do figure out how to reproduce the problem please let us know.

Regards

Steve
