Half the time I lose my post...
Purple Tophat:
So half the time, I'll go to all the trouble of typing out a nice long post asking some detailed questions, and I'll hit the button to submit, and it takes me to a page where it says I'm not logged in. Trouble is...I WAS LOGGED IN!!! When this happens, I lose my entire post!!! I just spent 20 minutes writing up a post with a bunch of questions, and I lost the whole damn thing for no reason. I can't even explain how irritating that is.

That's wei...
Well Fed Games:
That does suck. I use the "keep me logged in" option when I sign in, and it never kicks me out. Perhaps it is a browser issue?
I've had it happen before on other forums and for other reasons though- If I was smart I would type up long posts in a google .doc that is constantly saving (or just notepad) and then copy/paste but I rarely have that kind of forethought.
PL1:
I know it's not a true "fix", but before you click "Post" on an epic, use Control+A (select all) and Control+C (copy) to copy your post to the clipboard.
I also use the "Preview" button to check layout, links, picture sizes, last second replies by others, etc. As a bonus, I think it refreshes your logged in status -- I haven't had the problem you describe since i started using "Preview" regularly.

Now that's just old school funny...
Well I'm now just copying to the clipboard, and that'll make sure I don't lose anything major again. I haven't tried the "keep me logged in" thing, but I will for sure. Thanks for the help!
