| 490563 | 2006-10-10 11:00:00 | I've just spent a wee time typing a reply to a PM, hit the send button and, far kennel if the miserable &*%$ thing does'nt kick me off with a request to login?? Being only so smart, I backed up but didn't copy the text before I lost the lot anyway. I haven't been around as much of late so may have missed the implimentation of this brilliant piece of user deception that would make that sod Billy Gates proud, pure genius of the savant genre. Well done :) |

| 490564 | 2006-10-10 18:07:00 | Yes, I have the same problem and also when going backwards and forwards through pages (looks like PF1 dumps my log-in cookie like a hot muffin). As far as the message thing (I haven't tried it with a PM, but guess it's the same deal)... once you've typed the message, click send and get the log in box come up, just type your PW etc in and the post will be posted without loosing all your typing. PS, perhaps it's an evil plot to make users post short and succinct replies ? |

I write long tirades, and actually have had to write them 1st in something like WordPad and then paste them here...might be the 120/240volt problem again, but my ability to hold a connection is very short of late.:blush: |

Well done :) If there are technical issues with the froum then I suggest emailing me about them might be a more constructive way for us to: 1] learn they exist 2] try and do something about them But hey, what do I know. |

I assumed, perhaps wrongly, that it was something that had been introduced for some reasom... like preventing people from being logged in for ever and a day while not actually in attendance. After my ever so slightly snide post (more peeved than anything) I was quite prepared for an obvious answer and a doh! moment from one of the knowledgeable posters, not quite as obvious as a bug though. Who'd have thought it :lol: Anyway, apologies for getting your back up, but I think there might be a problem with the login not sticking for some reason, which is beyond me (I'm being obvious again aren't I). Oh yeah, it appears to happen at the begining of a session, perhaps on the first post. I'll take more note next time. |

But I'll need more info to see if it isa "bug" or a "feature" . If the later, it's possible it is just a setting we can adjust . How many other folks have been having this issue? |

| 490571 | 2006-10-11 21:23:00 | I have to admit to being very naughty, but I haven't logged out for about 5 days or so. I've had no problems so far. | Chris Randal (521) | ||
| 490572 | 2006-10-11 23:21:00 | I sometimes strike this but have just assumed that it is yet another advanced feature of WebMarshal Poxy (which decided trhat PressF1 is "likely to contain pornography" and refused to let me access one thread when logged in; but let me see it when not logged in). Don't some browsers allow the paranoid to purge cookies at short intervals? Though that shouldn't happen while in a session. |
