A little while back  Robert suggested the splash page might make a good screensaver - I have found that a simple change to the header will achieve that and have implemented on ME & ndslr themes - if you don't change pages then after 5 mins the splashscreen is displayed.

Can set it to any time you want, 5 mins is just a guess as to what is sensible.

Thoughts? Comments?

The missing buttons is just this topic - I wonder if it is because the topic was moved out of the mod area?

Bugger!

The splash screen just deleted my post, while I was typing it... No five minutes inactivity and neither the back button nor swiping would retrieve the text.

Good job it didn't do that while I was creating my last long post in the astronomy thread! The air would have been blue!

Ah - inactivity is determined by page change - I'll up the 5 mins to 15....

Is there no other way of determining activity?  I think 5 minutes is OK, either that or save the content of new posts.

It would have taken me at least half an hour to put my last night sky big post together with interruptions, due to Flicker mixing my images up.

I have used several forums where they save the content of new posts as you type.  If for any reason you loose the page before posting it you can recover the text.

I remember the old forum you had to post in 30 minutes or it locked you out and you had to re-type it all again, that was fun, occasionally I used to save it to a text file, to even compose the post in Word.

One more thing... In the splash screen can we have a button for 'Recent Posts' please?

And another! LOL lost in the ether, from my lost post, the timing of the image display in the splash screen seems erratic?  The first image changed in a few seconds, the next, well  I got bored waiting for it, I resorted to clicking the next arrow>.

That was on our wish-list anyway...

Isn't there any way to establish if the client is using the text editor page with a flag, the 'Text Edit' process must have been called?  If so exempt the splash page from activating while in 'Text Edit' mode, that's database stuff?  Like, lock the record while it's being edited.
