Why is there a time limit?
I'm trying to post several puzzles from my own games but it takes time to set up a position.
It would be wasteful and boring if I post only one puzzle at a time.
Do you have a suggestion?

Really, this should be fixed. You don't have to (and shouldn't) prevent the timeout, but surely the content can be preserved while the user logs back in so that it's available to post.

Save and Preview periodically along the way. Not only will it save your content for later, it will probably also reset the timer on your 30 minute timeout window.
In fact, this would be a great way to implement the fix for this -- auto-save and preview in the background at the 25 minute mark and discard it if the user manages to get the post in before he times out.
There's a button marked "Preview" next to "Post Comment". This will save a copy.
oh...thanks for solving my problem. Expect to see exciting forums!
Will work on them soon.

Noted. I'll see what I can do
I need help! Whenever I post something (long posts with several games in it), and I press Preview, it then shows a new forum topic and deletes my whole detailed game. This has happened to me several times and I find it irritating.
