Apples and orangutans...Unless you have exactly the same PC/connection/ISP/etc, that won't tell you much...

I can tell you that because I am on a dial-up, and do Beta testing for Microsoft (among others), my ISP has disabled the disconnect timeout for my connection, as well as allowing me extended email capability (no limit on attachments). So it's not on my end. I have no problem on other Forums - but then, this is the only Forum (among a dozen I frequent) that encourages pics be posted *here*...

I would suspect the Forum timeouts when it thinks there has been no activity on an open "reply"post for more than 30 or 45 or 60 or whatever seconds...

About the only way I can get around it is to phrase my replies in Notepad beforehand and limit the pics to two per post...
