Yeah now that you mention it, I'm not getting any timeouts since late morning, my time.
Hmm interesting.. disabled the hosts file this morning (that is about 15hrs ago) had 2 time outs whilest browsing.. re enabled and no probs.. but then I only had 15mins to play.. so Moira.. .. jam it..Quote:
I have an adblocking hosts file and the site still times out - that has nothing to do with it.
No, she's right (and try to be a bit more cordial, thanks). Whether I allow images or do not, the timeouts still occurred.
dunno.. maybe it is my area of OZ and France..Quote:

You ask me to be cordial.. ok.. I made a comment.. it was my experience on the situation.. What do you call the reply?

Well I thought "jam it" was a little rude, unless there was some other meaning intended. If you disable the hosts file, is the site still timing out for you there?
Well...
I have had several timeouts recently...last night as I was responding to a thread....I went to postt...and it said I wasnt logged in :rolleyes:
Back button worked I copied, logged in and redid......
Kinda annoying though

I had same problem this morning while I was typing up that rather lengthy thread . I thought maybe it was some kind of security measure akin to the paypal system of loging you out after being inactive for X amount of time, but I guess its these bots.
No, the logout problem shouldn't be related to the bots. I would guess that it's still an old cookie on your system. That's about the only thing I can think of that would cause it. The timeouts, yes, could be the bots, but I haven't had a time out in 3 days now, and I was getting them frequently.
Many sites will time you out if you're inactive for too long. If I know I've taken ages to finish a post (I'm usually doing about 10 things at once on the computer) then I'll copy the post just in case that happens.
The other timeouts were different though .... you could be accessing the site for the first time and it would time out, ie before you'd had a chance to be logged out as a security measure. It was similar to trying to get onto a really busy site, one selling tickets to a fantastically popular concert (for instance).
