Re: What the f*** Happened With My New Reply
A long time forum addict, I can tell you the technical explanation for this: "Stuff Happens".
This isn't just a PA problem, of a vBulletin thing, and it has several causes.
Easiest one to fix: When you log in, there is a small check box (or should be) marked "Keep me logged in". Check this. No, it doesn't mean you are permanently logged in here, it just means your machine will store a cookie so that you are automagically logged in, and stay that way, whenever you come here. Harmless, but handy.
Barring that (or in addition) there is a button below the posting box marked "Preview Post". Clicking that from time to time will not only allow you to see what your post will look like, but help to keep you loggin in, as well.
Finally, hard knocks has taught me one other trick. Just before you click on "Submit Reply", right-click in the text box containing your post and select "Select All", Then r-click again and select "Copy". Then go click on "Submit Reply". That way, if your post should "lose its way" you will still have all your hard work sitting in your clippboard, and can re-open the "Reply" page and just click "Paste".
