I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.
Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

Returning Visitors
If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.
If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I used to type small novels and got timed out a few times and it was really frustrating. One day my son told me to "save" what I've typed before submitting it. That helped a lot.
I notice now that a yellow highlighted box shows up in the lower right side of the reply box that says "auto saved". It shows up several seconds (15 ?) after no typing activity. It's only on a couple of seconds. So this site is saving what you typed but I'm not sure how you retrieve your message if it appears to be lost.

Check the box. I never log out and I always have a GSR tab open. I'm on here fairly often, but I left to pick up an engine for another member and 6 hours later i jumped right back at it. Also let your computer remember your password. It's not like it's a security risk if someone gets on your computer and visits GSR.How do I set it up to stay logged in longer? Sometimes it takes me a long time to type or I take a phone call and when I come back and finish my thread , I have "timed out". It then makes me log in and the thread is lost.

That has happened to me before, actually a lot. I would write something that I've really put some thought into, only to have to leave before finishing and then come back and finish and submit to find out my token has expired. That is really frustrating, but often if it has been auto saved, so refresh the page and then when you hit, reply it often has a restore content button pop up in the lower left corner of the reply box. Click on that and what you typed up to the last auto save will return. I wish we had a save button we could use manually, it would make things simpler if you have to step away.
There will be a button that appears on bottom left corner that says "restore auto saved content". If you've seen the yellow auto save pop up and go away, it should pick where you left off after hitting the restore button.
I just sent this as a test. I see the yellow auto save pop up in the lower right corner of the reply box, but there is no "restore button" anywhere.
After you see the auto save thing you should be able to close the browser or go to another thread and then upon returning, if you click on the blue reply to thread button at the top the restore auto saved content button will appear.
