I just want to say how much I FRINGING HATE HATE HATE the built in 15 minute Admin timeout!!!

I cannot tell you how many times and how many HOURS WASTED because of this seemingly STUPID feature!!

Yeah, I know all the "edit in word first" blah blah blah responses... but sometimes you get caught up in Admn and lose time and before you know it spent 25 minutes writing content and then BANG you LOSE EVERYTHING!! Its Painful!!! 15 minutes is just plain Idiotic! Obviously implemented by someone who is a primarily a programmer NOT a business owner ..

It Sucks!

You don't seem to understand the word "Fraud" - see this:

Just what I was getting ready to say..

The feature was added from a SECURITY POV not a PROGRAMMER POV..

FYI.. Editing in MS Word is a BAD idea unless you strip out the nasty crap MS Word WILL add to your HTML..

And if you must violate PCI compliance other processes that access the admin on a "routine" basis will prevent said 15 minute timeout. Also... If you update to the. latest ZC you can generally pick the timeout that you would like applied that is in excess of the 15 minutes.

There are also other ways to update say product associated with the website outside of the admin panel.
