PMing-"Time expired" popup

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

Whenever I Private Message someone, or reply to a PM I've recieved, when I finish and press send, I get a popup something to the effect, "Your time alotted has expired-please resend message, your data may be lost". I can't resend the message, and have to start all over again. And this occurrs when I have been only typing my message for a very short time, like even under one minute.

	Yes I noticed that too, and I now copy before pressing send
	I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.

	This is a known problem and is not easy to fix. We're running on pretty old servers, and they get a little backed up sometimes. Sadly there's not much we can do to help it, other than try to get in the habit of copying the text of your PM, especially if it's a long or important one, before sending the PM.
