I felt so bad about not noticing it (really), that i came back to the survey to try to fill it again, but in the middle of the first page i had a break. When i completed the first page and clicked Next, i received a message saying: We are sorry but your session has expired. Either you have been inactive for too long, you have cookies disabled for your browser, or there were problems with your connection. I was away for maybe half an hour. That's not "too long". And if that's not enough, i couldn't use the Back button to restore my answers. Such things must not happen in WMF surveys. -- Amir Elisha Aharoni · אָמִיר אֱלִישָׁע אַהֲרוֹנִי http://aharoni.wordpress.com "We're living in pieces, I want to live in peace." - T.
