Watch out how long it takes you to load pictures and write your post, as it can be frustrating if you get distracted by Family, life etc. whilst making a post, only to find that you have been timed out and loose everything. I tend to copy what I have written so that I can repaste it into a new post if I get timed out, and use the preview button every now and then, which helps keep me logged in when writing a long post.
