Finally figured out how to change this!

Is there a way to change the amount of time before one has to sign in again? I've lost a few posts lately. I'll write something (not always that long-winded), and when I go to post, it asks me to sign in again. I do, and the post is gone. I used to be able to hit the Back button when I saw the sign in request, copy my unposted text, sign in and hit paste. Now the unposted text isn't there when I hit Back.
Any ideas? I checked the User Control Panel and couldn't find any kind of log in timer.
Thanks for any help. It's not a big deal, but is pretty annoying when I forget to copy...

Hm, I've never had this issue so I'm not sure how to potentially fix it.

Yeah I've had this happen a few times as well.

Not that I know of. As I said elsewhere. If I am posting something that requires a bit of thought (open to interpretation)....I typically will copy it if I am spending more than 5 minutes on it....otherwise you will lose it.
