Timing Out While Editing?

[ilsita]

So, I was just working away in my admin, editing an ezpage, and when I hit "update"... it sent me to the log in screen and I lost all my work. I thought that since I was actively working there, I'd be OK. How do I prevent this from happening again?

There is a setting for the Admin session time out in the Configuration ... My Store ...

Admin Session Time Out in Seconds
Enter the time in seconds. Default=3600
Example: 3600= 1 hour

Note: Too few seconds can result in timeout issues when adding/editing products

It is also worth, just before saving changes, to copy the whole EzPage in memory ... just in case you were snoozing while writing it ...

Thank you!

You know what I think happened is that I had both firefox and IE running at the same time. I started editing in Firefox, but then ran into trouble inserting images and links, so I switched to IE, without closing the FF. Well, I guess I timed out on FF, and...

I haven't had any trouble since.
