I get that sometimes. Why not close down your browser, delete your cookies and history, then try again. That's sorted the problem a couple of times for me (though it may just have been coincidence, of course).

This is happening alot to me just now, I am getting very frustrated, if I log in and start a thread or post on an existing thread and hit the submit button, the whole post is lost, this does not happen with any other forum I post on.

It is also happening to others on the OS daily thread, it is quite often commented on..surely this can be fixed..

I delete my cookies and browsing history several times aday so I know this is not the problem.

Hi Merlot
this may not be the same thing at all but I had this happening to me when I first joined. I'd take ages replying to a post and when I finally went to post it would say I wasn't logged on even though I had. Anyway my DS said before I click submit right click on the reply and copy then if when you submit it's logged you off again you haven't lost your reply because you can log back on and then click paste and it's saved it for you. Hope that sounds straight forward. DS also said it can log you off if there has been no activity for a while so if you've been busy replying a long post then maybe that's why...
Hope it helps anyway.
