And if that's not good enough, here is how you can alert users with a popup before they time out.

IS it possible to set this to "never"? I noticed the max hard coded in the dropdown list is 30 minutes. I want much longer, like hours, or never.

Thanks for that suggestion.

I have no idea where to find the php.ini file, and I'm on a hosted web server, so odds are I can't edit the file even if I did find it, no? It's external to tikiwiki, correct?

This timeout issue when editing a page is a real SHOW STOPPER which would prevent me from unleashing tikiwiki onto my unsuspecting general user community at work! Seriously. There MUST be a way to stop this timeout from happening. PLEASE PLEASE any more assistance or ideas would be great! Help!

Thanks again to all, -Horch
