116016 2003-01-22 10:18:00 I have now found twice that when I am posting, if I click the "Preview" button, then try and click "Go back/Edit" or "Post Message", it comes up saying I am not authorised to do this and asks me to login (or create a new account). Up the top it still says "Welcome, agent.". Entering my username and password doesn't help, it just goes back to the same page. So I reverted to making sure my post was alright, hit the Back button, and clicked "Post Message" from the editing page. It works fine from there.

First time it happened (when I posted the debate thread), I put it off as a one-time accident. Second time (when responding to Lohsings question about what comes after "Gen X"), I realised it wasn't. Third time (confirming that it still did it before I posted this thread), I know it's not some one-off glitch.

Can anyone else replicate the problem?

It has also happened when you aren't logged in and you want to reply to a thread - all you can do is just keep trying
