Hi Hans,
Sorry about the annoyance.
It's probably the half hour. The system logs you in for a limited-time session. That ensures that if you check and leave the site, it doesn't show you as online anymore. If you do not do anything on the site (click a link, push a button), the timer runs down and eventually your session will expire. That should be after 3600 seconds however, so there may be something else going on, namely the session/cookie on your computer may have expired.
Whatever the reason, if you're going to write a long reply / the reply is going to take a long time to write, it's best to do that in Notepad or somesuch.
