Sessions are too short

It is a good thing that CMS MS now has sessions when editing. But they are too short (or it should be possible to set the length to one's own preference). It is frustrating when I am writing a page, using some time to find links, check information etc, and find that the session has expired when I am finished and will submit the page. The result is that all is lost.

There's 2 things going on here.

1. Session length is set by php.  It can be modified in php.ini.

2. There should be a cookie created so that sessions are recreated if they time out.  If that's not working, you might want to check to make sure cookies are working correctly.

ohh and one more thing....
We made some tweaks to 1.5.3 to help on this session problem. But it was not good for everybody. We have made one more fix that will be included in the coming 1.6 version later. The new fix will probably solve session timeout for everybody.
