On several ocasions I have replyed to posts and on most ocasions have no problems, however ocasionally even though I am logged in when I press submit I get a screen that tells me that I need to log in to use this section .When I log in again my post disappears and I start again ,Murphys law ditactes that this usually happens when I write a lengther post ,so I check that I am still loged in and rewrite the post with the same result , after that I give up . Could you please help me

I need to relog in very frequently lately. Especially if you visit another site and come back

Not ideal, but you could create your post in notepad or word and paste it into the site if you are tired of loosing your work

Before I hit the "submit" button, I highlight the entire post I have written, then copy it to the clipboard.

That way, if something untoward happens, I don't have to re-type it all again.

Or, as suggested, do it in Notepad, Word, even your email program. The advantage of these, is they often have a spell checker attached, saving time.

What areas are you trying to post in?? Some areas are only open to vendors and subscribers.
