say u want to PM someone, u got his name wrong. Your message is not sent. There's the option "admend your pm...", click on it to get back and u lost what you just wrote which might be something you spent  3 hours in!!!!.

 I hate when posts , pm or emails that do that!!!!

If you're spending 3 hours typing a PM you want to get out more...

This very forum, sir, ..at wwg.  . And it just happened to me again recently

Are you taking longer than 20 minute to write the post?

Also make sure that you are not using a cached or saved version of the page?

Also what is the exact error message?

For security reasons to stop people remotly posting form input and flooding the forum the ASP session ID is sent with the post, if you have taken more than 20 minutes you will have lost the ASP session ID as your session will have been dropped, or if using a cashed version of the page the session ID won't match.

This has been a feature of this forum now for over a month and so far no-ne else has encounted this problem.

I'm not sure if this is related.
I came back to the site this morning and saw my username had been logged in. Then, I navigated around the forums via clicking on topic links and all; and posting.  The loggin info had been cached/stored for sure and maybe, just maybe all the pages I saw were cached also (even if I click on the links?)

I'm pretty sure it didn't take me 20 min or over to type a message twice as long as this one. Anyway, let me double check.

I did earlier and yes it was still there, the message is stored in a session variable when the amend button is clicked, but if you hit refresh it will have gone. Check you have all cookies enabled on your browser.

If you want to be able to hit back on your browser and see your message in the text box then turn off the WYSIWYG editor in your profile you will then get an ordinary text box.

ok, i set my box to accept all kookies and it works.

I don't know how much security I did trade off for this, though.

borg, could you pliz set 'Auto Login" to unchecked by default? Security issue really worths 10 seconds of your time to log in again. Plus, I feel a fresh login will give more accurate pages.
