Just a suggestion for those that are typing a long post or are slow typists and want to avoid getting logged off from TERB while typing:

Use your favorite text editor (Word or Wordpad, for example) to compose (and potentially spellcheck) your post. When you have everything the way you want it, log into TERB with in your browser and click "post new" or "reply" to get into screen where your can enter your message.

In your text editor, Click "Edit", then "Select All", or simply highlight your entire text with the mouse, then click "Edit", then "Copy".

In your browser window where you have TERB open, position the cursor in the text entry field, then click "Edit" then "Paste".

As the French say, "Viola", your long post has just been entered in the blink of an eye with no chance of being logged off while you're typing.

(Note - I entered this post using the method described above.)
