Time Out on Session

I was in the middle of putting together a post responding to the question on getting permission to bolt on FS land. I had been regularly previewing the post to keep my session active. Just after previewing I got up and walked away for about a minute to come back to a message that my session had timed out. Is this a glitch or is there a certain limit where your session will automatically time out? Kinda frustrating that I have to now go back and try to recreate my post.

the back button may help you save your text, then just copy and past

That was the first thing I tried. Just got a explorer screen the page has expired. I wasn't being as diligent as I sometimes am where I periodically copy and save the text. Anyways got the post back together and up.

My work has blocked gmail and I have a website using some sort of PHP proxy that lets me get to my gmail. Unfortunately it's not perfect and I sometimes have an issue like this where I'll type a longggg email and lose it.

Now I have the habit of anytime I'm typing something long into a browser, I copy it before I hit submit/send just in case. Has saved me a few times.
