An Open notice to all on the Baptist Board, from AndrewT and all the Administrators and Moderators to the newest member.
I've had about enough!
And I am saddened by this action that I shall be taking. :tear:
I'm sick and tired of getting "kicked off log" between posts, virtually every time I get on here, and having to log in time and again. I will henceforth be posting far less often, than in the past. There is simply no good reason for the format to kick one off in a few minutes, as it often takes several minutes to compose a post, or to read posts, and deciding whether or not to respond to a post.
I am aware that I could click the "Remember Me?" bit, but I have absolutely no intention of doing so, hence leaving any "cookies" floating in the nether world of cyberspace, when such are not, in any manner, warranted. I have posted here on the BB for more than 3 years, with more than 8K posts, without ever having to log-on multiple times, at a sitting, and may have logged on a grand total of two dozen times if my memory serves, and this mostly during my first few days around, prior to this new format. I had two hospitalizations, one of which lasted a full week, hence I was not able to post at all, without being "kicked off log" and I have previously completely shut down the computer while being away for four to six days, more than one time, and upon returning, re-started the computer, and merely "clicked on 'the Baptist Board'" to be greeted with a "Welcome, EdSutton!" response. (I can't remember whether or not I had to 'log on' after the recent ice storm in KY where all our power was off for nearly 12 days.) In fact, even while composing this post, I have been 'kicked off' again, and two times in about 20 min.
And if I do attempt to get back on log, after composing a post, it will not 'take' when I log-in' at the top of the page, and I have to open a new tab, sign-in, and then thankfully, I can actually 'slash and glue' what I just composed, to the new page (the one good thing about the new format, that I have seen, is that you can actually copy what you have composed, before posting) without losing it, and then posting it. However, that one improvement does not make up for the huge step backward, IMO.
Sorry, there is simply no good reason for this "downgrade" for it is certainly not any overall upgrade, IMO.
FTR, I will also post this same notice in at least one other forum that I often post in, simply because some of those who are not Baptists actually do follow the rules, and do not attempt to post in "Baptist Only" areas.
