I keep having a problem in that if I log in to post, when I hit the submit button it tells me I need to log in to post, even though I have already done so. The first time that happened I lost everything I had typed. I get round this by logging in to get the post a reply screen, then copying what I've typed, so I can just paste it in. FWIW, on that second log in I get both the full "post a reply" and quick reply screens.

I have experienced the same thing.
It used to be said that the statue of the Black Prince had been placed in City Square , near the station, pointing South to tell all the southerners who've just got off the train to b****r off back down south!

It has just taken me several attempts to post on the "Thrift Stores" thread because it kept requiring me to log in, although I already was. Copying the text and pasting it back in was only partially successful because that lost the attachment each time.

When I started to post on this thread, my status was shown as logged in as it is now, but it still required me to log in again.

I've copied this as a precaution.

PS And a good job I did

I don't want to make a big deal about this. FWIW, I've found the new format of this site - blue on my computer - immeasurably better than the old reddish version - but I didn't have this glitch before and I don't think it's some error on my part.

(PS It's done it again)

test

I think I have found a solution.

Checking the "remember me" box at log in means that posting is possible without further logging in. From my experience of other forums, the "remember me" feature is intended to avoid the need for a log in at the start of each new visit to the forum, not before and during every attempt to post. As I posted earlier, it's not a big deal, but at least one other member has experienced this. It's impossible to know if anybody else has just walked away instead of reporting it.
