Sign in Time Out

I am try to navigate the site, whether it be sending a message, posting a comment, or uploading a song, and before I am done, my login has timed out. This has happened several times to me and it is frustrating, especially when i have a long message typed, and once i log it, i can't go back to it. i have to type the entire post. I've resorted to typing it a document and copying because i don't have enough time before it times out. same goes for uploading

You are not the only user to be caught out by this!

My solution is, having written any post, to then immediately press Ctrl+A to highlight it all, then Ctrl+C to copy it. Then if Submit fails, the original text is still available to paste in to a new answer, via Ctrl+V, though any formatting, like bold or italics, is liable to be lost.

That's what I've been doing, but it's also frustrating when I had to upload the same song 3 times because of the timeout :/ I've been opening another magix tab and refreshing it to see if it's still logged in, and if it isn't, I log in before hitting publish. It's a quick fix, but its a pretty nasty bug to be caught out with.

This is super annoying, I can't post a message due to I have to login again before I am even done writing it.
