I couldn't figure out where to post this, so I'm just putting it here in the hopes that it will find it's way home.

Twice now, after logging in, I've written rather long messages in response to other posts, only to be redirected to a box that says I'm not logged in and don't have permission to post. When I then log in (again) I lose the message I have composed. Any Idea what's happening or how to prevent this?

Best regards,
J Marcus

When you log in tick the box "remember?". That should fix the problem.

One trick I use for issues like this is to quickly copy and paste the text into a Word document before hitting submit. Then, if anything happens like a time-out or lost network connection, you still have your work. Another great side benefit is the automatic spell checker!

There is a spell checker in the box where you write posts. It is that check mark at the top left. You click on it the first time and it takes you to a site where you can download an IE spell check for free. When it is installed you can check your spelling right in the post. I like that.

I had the same problem with writing a post then losing it- I even did it with a long thoughtful post answering a J Marcus post. Now I am trained to click that remember box. I have to log out and then log in as Admin, so I have to remember that every single time.

I also use the cut and paste technique with long posts now- just in case. I hate trying to recreate a post I just lavished time and energy on.

Maybe in the new Pearl Guide forum, there will be a subforum for technical questions such as this and how to post pictures. etc.

Thanks to all three of you,

That all sounds like good advice. I'll try those things. I'm sure that will clear up the problem.

Thanks again,
