Community

Often I come and start working on a topic and then get pulled away by something at work for a few minutes. Then I come back and finish my post only to find that my session has timed out, and the text of the post is lost. Chances are I don't type it again unless desperate.

It seems the timeout is around 5-10 minutes. I am not sure if there is a need for higher security here on the community forums than I experience at the banking websites, but a longer timeout would be nice.

When I log in, I use the Google link under "Or log in using a social account". I can try checking the box next time I log in, but visually the checkbox doesn't belong to the social account logins.

I tried going into edit my forum account to set a password so I could log in using the boxes you pictured. Since I created my account by using the social login, it doesn't seem I am able to log in any other way. I tried using both my user name and my email address along with the new password I set. When logging in that way, I get "Incorrect login or password"

If I try resetting my password using the "Forgot Password" tool, I get "User profile was not found"
