When I try to reply to a message, I click on "reply", log in successfully, then begin typing. If I am interrupted (or take too long to type), I am automatically logged out at some point and have to log in again when I click "post". The trouble is, I always lose everything I just typed when this happens (cannot recover it by clicking the "back" button"). Any ideas?

Accepting cookies? Sounds like you do not, as it should be no problem staying logged in for weeks or more.

Have you tried logging in first, then replying to a message? Or does the same thing still happen?

sounds like a cookies issue. [:

I agree with krmathis and CDBacklash... Sounds like an issue with cookies. If you are accepting cookies and all that try clearing your browsers cache. That may help

click the "remember me" button when logging in.

Try composing your message in Word, then copy & paste.

Which web browser? I've had that happen with Chrome and it is because you didn't check the remember me box as someone up above said.

Hey-thanks everyone!

I checked "remember me" and ensured I have cookies enabled.

If I have any more trouble, the likely culprit is probably the firewall here at work (I don't do much on message boards at home because I'm too busy playing with my boys and hanging out with with the lovely and beautiful Mrs. Dude, listening to music, or slinging solder in the workshop!)

One thing about cookies, you only need to have main cookies enabled and not 3rd party cookies too. 3rd party cookies mostly come from ad links.
