I get these fairly often and it is definitely an annoyance with the new forum program. I've put it on the to-do list to investigate what is going on. I know it deals with forum "security" to prevent abuse/spamming, blah blah blah...it still doesn't seem to work like it's intended. Generally, there is little harm done and clicking OK on the screen solves it.

I've doubled the timeout from 300 to 600 seconds. How much time do you think is reasonable? Also, it's possible the setting I changed is the wrong one...so let me know if the issue continues.

This is definitely a good option if you are going to spend an extended period on a single page. If you do run into a timeout issue, using your BROWSER'S back button should allow you to salvage what you wrote (copy your text, then log back in, then paste into a new message).
