Kriminal99 Posted May 22, 2006 Report Posted May 22, 2006 This is really annoying... You go to post something and when you hit post the login screen comes up. Whats even worse about it here as compared to other sites that do this, is if you hit back instead of bringing back the content of your post it reverts back to what was there right after you hit the post button. Which means a lot of effort in the form of carefully thought out and written posts can be lost... Quote
Tormod Posted May 22, 2006 Report Posted May 22, 2006 I have never experienced this myself. What browser and OS are you on? Is this something that has just started to happen? Quote
Tormod Posted May 22, 2006 Report Posted May 22, 2006 BTW I always recommend copying the content of a reply before you hit "Post"... Quote
Kriminal99 Posted May 22, 2006 Author Report Posted May 22, 2006 Every forum I have ever been to everywhere, although most will have the post still there when you hit back. I didn't realize it could be the result of the browser... XP, Internet explorer. Yeah, I get in the habit of copying replies before posting whenever I hang around a forum like this for a while. But at other forums I get used to just being able to hit back and then copy before logging in, or even logging in and then hitting back and just repost. Quote
Tormod Posted May 22, 2006 Report Posted May 22, 2006 That you lose the content when hitting the back button is definitely not something with our site - it must be a caching problem in your browser. Your browser does not communicate with our site if you hit the back button (there might be exceptions but I'm not aware of any in this specific scenario). That you're being logged out, however, is not good. Did you recently upgrade your Internet Explorer? It could be a cookie problem. I'll check with the forum developers if this is a known problem.

Jay-qu Posted May 22, 2006 Report Posted May 22, 2006 Make sure you select remember me when you log in and also have cookies enabled - I have had this problem before, but this fixed it. Quote
Turtle Posted May 26, 2006 Report Posted May 26, 2006 This is really annoying... You go to post something and when you hit post the login screen comes up.. I have this happen too. Just go ahead & Login when you get that screen & when the screen refreshes from your Login your post is posted.;) Quote
