Auto logout in this forum is a pain ....

by Toby Mangold - 10 Jul 2009, 10:27 CEST

Hi,

the auto-logout in this forum happens pretty early. Typing a message, being distracted for a few minutes by a phone call and pressing submit will put your edits to /dev/null, nirvana, or however you'd like to call it. Edit are lost without any warning and possibility to go back.

Is there anything that can be done to prevent this "data loss" ? IMHO, submit posts can be accepted for a very long period of time even after an auto-logout, because the submit form itself is accessible only while logged in. Therefore, submit's can only originate from valid users.
Maybe the submit form has to be equipt with a on-time submit ticket to prevent spamming etc. But that should work.

Basically, I don't care about the technical solution. But data loss is unacceptable.

Regards,
Toby

That might be a problem with your openID provider or a combination with browser, cockies and openID provider. There is no timeout in the formum software. (a standard library is used here) As long the php session id is available you can post. Many hours login is possible with my system.

You mean, maintaining a login without any actions (page reload, etc.) should be working. Than I have to check my openID provider ....

Thanks

I have check it today: 1 hour without any action works, further 3 hours without action will logout.

The LayoutEditor™ is a program to design and edit layouts for MEMS/IC fabrication and CMOS IC design .Designing these layouts require a high precision. In IC design a sufficient resolution and a possibility of a high scaling is required. The resolution of the LayoutEditor can be set in a wide range and is normally set to 1 nano meter. A higher resolution makes no sense due to atomar structures. With this resolution the LayoutEditor can draw elements up to 4 meters. In many IC design houses this is enough for IC/MEMS which extend usually less than 0.1 meters. The productions of MEMS/IC is done in many layers. For each of these physical CAD layers a belonging layer had to exist in the drawing. Additional logical layers are required for describing/naming purpose. So a lot of layers are needed. By default the LayoutEditor is limited to 128 layers. But it can easily be adjusted, if more layers are required. IC Designs often contain a plenty of repeating structures. Essential for micro fabrication of these designs is therefor a hierarchical design. This means, that the complete repeating structure only exists once in a single cell. These cell is then referred multiple times in the main drawing.
Beside the above mems packaging mentioned IC design fundaments it is important to have sophisticated functions to handle all drawing elements. The layout handler has all required functions: all basic design functions, all angle elements, boolean operations, macros, fontgenerator, design rule checker, mems tools, supported format: GDSII, DXF, OASIS, CIF.
