Hi there,
I'm having trouble with a long application form. It often works, but sometimes doesn't. I can't narrow down the problem to whether or not its internet explorer that causes the issue, or whether it is because people are taking a very long time to fill it out.
Either way, its been really frustrating for people who take a long time to fill it out and lose all their info.
Can anyone help me figure this out and give me some guidance?

Hi jonathanappleseed,
It's probably that the session is timing out, the default Joomla! session is 15 minutes. Just extending this may help, there is a small security risk but it's pretty low for your site as people are unlikley to be using the form in public places.
I would be tempted to break the form down into separate pages and to save the data after each page. This can make the whole thing seem less formidable.
There's also a keepalive directive that may help -- please see this post
