Rob...I frequently get "Invalid session" message when trying to reply to, or edit a post. I am logged in at the time. I am using WINXP home version and AOL is the ISP (I know....could be AOL). |

I'm afraid neither Rob nor AOL have nothing to do with this... session expires on web server because you take too much time to write a post. Increasing timeout on a server usually does bad things to it.
When this happens to me I hit "back" button in IE and return to input page with my text PRESERVED. I then copy it into clipboard, return to the thread, click "reply" again, paste the text and send it without problems. |

Yup. I've had that happen too when I've walked away when in the middle of typing a reply and then return and try to complete it. It's like WWW said, it's a time out.
Best I can suggest is that you learn to type alot faster because the time out is quite long! _________________ Rob

One other thing you can do to prevent the timeout (and still be able to take too long to type a message ) is to click the preview button every once in a while while you are constructing your post. _________________ Mike England |

Now that I know that "Invalid_session" means "Time Out".... It just didn't click for me that is what it meant. You guys are great! I have learned more from you guys in the last few weeks then I have learned in the last few years!
Thanks,
Jeff |
