Strange forum issue
I noticed today that in any section that I have previously composed a reply, but did not post it, whenever I try to post a new topic, the previous unposted reply comes up in the boxes. I have not saved anything as a draft.
Anyone else have this problem? Am I going to have to toss my cookies to fix this? First time I've noticed it.

Haven't seen anything unusual. I wouldn't put it past Russia though to be up to something.

Re: Strange forum issue
Makes it kinda hard to make a new post. Could I just delete the info still in the boxes, or will it just post it to the original thread? I'm thinking the latter.

Re: Strange forum issue
Are you hitting the go back button? It happens to me all the time and I use it that way.

Re: Strange forum issue
I believe I have the forum set to save a draft automatically. I'm not sure how long before the automatic save. I did that because I have lost a few mid stream because of my internet provider. I'm afraid it's going to stay automatic.

Re: Strange forum issue
No, I am going to the specific section of the forum that I want to make a post and then hit the new topic button. If I have ever composed a new topic, but did not post it for some reason, it is there, apparently forever. This will make it impossible for me to post any new topics in a section that I have done this.Sir Henry wrote:Are you hitting the go back button? It happens to me all the time and I use it that way.
Let me try logging out and then logging back in.

Re: Strange forum issue
OK, just went and cleared the cookies for this site. Still no joy.
Guess I won't be posting any new topics.
This is a problem.

Tried deleting the information in the boxes and entering new info. I was able to post a new topic this way, and it cleared out the saved info.
A little of a pain, but not a big deal.

Re: Strange forum issue
I'm glad it's working. Let me go check something.
The site is due for an internal update. I just let it do it on it's own. That might be the issue.

I've had those same issues, and my iPhone will kick me off in the middle of a post. I did dump my history and we shall see!!

Also, sometimes I log off and it shows I'm still on and I have to login again and log off to be "gone".

Re: Strange forum issue
I've tried duplicating your problem but can't. Let us know if it continues.
