Anyone Know Why Posts Disappear?

I am frustrated. Yesterday I spent an hour typing a reply to one of the threads. After signing in, I typed my reply, when I went to submit it, it asked me to sign in again, which I did, it then gave me an error message and I could not get out of that page. I then did the same thing again today, another wasted hour and the same thing happened.

Your session will timeout after a while, certainly after an hour, I don't think there's a way to avoid it. If you spend a long time typing something, copy it before you hit submit. Then you can paste it back after you sign in again.

For long posts I always revert to typing them up in Notepad/Wordpad. That way I can save what I'm doing in case power and/or internet goes out (which has happened so many times!).

...think twitter.

But seriously, there was no interruption in the forum over Memorial Day that I'm aware of, so the loss was on your end.

posts disappear because you make baby jesus cry with all your masturbating.

Now how did you know that?

There's cameras embedded in your house and they plug right to the net.
I found the address on craigslist and frankly, I'm shocked.

You are going to hurt yourself one day!

Yes, and jesus will be crying a lot. But hey, we can always use some rain in Tx.
