Not happy after spending an hour replying to a LONG thread and taking the time to tearfully reply to each poster for their contributions and thoughtfulness.......went to hit submit and poof.....you're not logged in.

seems that in both IE and firefox (latest versions both) one can be logged in and using tabs.......yet not be logged in ON EACH TAB.

was not writing the now disappeared post in diff. tabs.
was using the multiquote feature (which btw seems very cool)

really unhappy w/ whatever feature on new BBS S/W has made remaining logged in so challenging.

any assistance? links to explanations? (anything besides internal browser cookie settings as we've checked that to death)

Wow...sorry to hear about what happened _ZH that really stinks!!

I always have more than one tab open with PC and I have never had that kind of an issue and I use Mozilla. I noticed with Mozilla that you can hit the back/return button and it will bring back what you have written...unlike IE which gives you nothing when going back to a previous page

Sorry I don't have any resolutions for you...hopefully someone will.

There is a session inactivity limit of 30 minutes before you're logged off. This is for the community's security as well as your own account's security. That means that if you do nothing on the forums for 30 minutes, you may be logged off (but this also depends on your web browser's cookies and such).

If you want to write a long post and are afraid that it's going to take longer than 30 minutes to do so, I will suggest what I suggested in the old forums when people complained of lost posts... Write such lengthy posts in a word processing program on your computer and save the document. Then when you're happy with the way it looks and reads, simply copy and paste it into the forums in a new post or reply and voila! No missing posts.

Sorry this is not ideal, but even on the old forums we constantly got complaints about how the system simply ate their reply or there was a server problem and when they pressed their back button, the post was gone.
