 * Hi,
 * I recently spent 4 hours writing an article on a page. When I clicked save draft,
   WordPress asked me to login again. You know the capacha popped up with a relatively
   easy math sum. Then when it reloaded all my data was gone.
 * I have checked the revisions and it says my last revision was 19 hours ago. I
   have also tried skipping back to the page and still nothing. Is there anyway 
   I can find it?
 * I really don’t think I can write that again as it was an ad lib piece, and pretty
   darn good if you ask me.
 * Regards

 * That isn’t default WordPress behavior. It sounds like you could have a plugin(
   s) that may be logging you out after a specified time, as well as providing the
   captcha feature on login.

 * I understand everyone’s workflow and preferences are different, but when I’m 
   working on pieces that are either technical or creative in nature (read that 
   as “this is gonna` take a long time to finish”) I use a desktop editor to create
   the content. That way I have the luxury of review/editing before posting, as 
   well as a local backup copy.
 * What plugin are you using for the captcha feature, and does it include any other
   features and settings to help control user logout options?
