I don't know what the timeout interval is before a message stays idel and requires re-authentication before being posted.

But, I noticed a few things. IMO I feel that the time-out interval is a bit short.

Secondly, when I log back in (re-authenticated) the message I originally created is still in *edit* mode.

Because the message is still in *edit* mode, it gives me an impression that the message was not posted.

So I hit the *Save/Post/Submit New Thread* (sorry can't remember the exact names of the buttons).

Then I get a message that says something like
"You must wait for 30 seconds before ... Try again in 5 seconds"

I guess this is a precaution to prevent automated thread posts by bots.

And, I think it's fine if the above time-out is there, however I think if the message/ thread was successfully posted then, the message *should not be in edit mode*.

After re-authentication, the message should appear in a *posted* mode.
