So, I was just typing a PM. Clicked the 'preview' button and all of a sudden I am logged out because my 'session timed out'.

Is this necessary? It's not an online banking account or anything ;) And either way, tell us about it somewhere like 'You will automatically be logged out in 42 minutes'. I had to rewrite everything because the logout reset the whole messaging form which is a tiny little bit annoying ;)

Sorry about that, I can imagine it to be more than a bit annoying.  >:( I haven't had it happen to me yet, despite being a slow PM writer, maybe I was just lucky.
But yeah, it seems there's an 'unused session timeout' in the server settings, currently it's set at the SMF default of 2880 seconds (48 minutes), which more or less corresponds with your experience. I will have to look it up a bit more to see if the limit's necessary, or if it'd be enough to simply increase it.

The number 42 was just a reference to the solution for everything ;) I do actually NOT think it took me THAT long to write what I had on my mind, it's not like I was writing a novel.

Anyhow, thanks for looking into this :)
