Is there some time or size restriction on a reply. I seem to sometimes start a reply and in the middle of writing it it just vanishes. For the life I can't restore it. Am I doing something incorrectly or do I have something set incorrectly? I have tried to enter this one reply and this has happened on 3 occaisons. I will admit the replys are probably a page in length and I do not type very rapidly.

There is no size restriction that I am aware of; I think the problem lies with your browser clearing cache during your post, not the AR software.

Which browser are you using? Is it up to date? Are using using a computer, tablet, iPad, or a mobile phone?

I am using an HP2000 laptop. The browser is either Chrome or Explorer. Currently using Chrome. It has happened with both browsers. As far as I know everything is current.

Zim, I have had the same problem. I am using a Sony VAIO and I assumed it was something with the keyboard touch sensing capability that it has, and that I HATE.

I have this problem sometimes when posting from my tablet (Samsung Slate with Win 8). I use Firefox and read/post from a few different machines.

Where my "problem" lies is that I have my tablet set up to delete cookies after every browsing session. It will apparently also delete them when I am using the machine. It is possible that one of my otehr background programs is doing this, don't know.

Anyway, it is not a big deal -except- when I am writing a lengthy post and I suspect the cookies get all cleared out. Then sometimes I end up having to re-sign in. If I do that any writing that I have done is gone and not anywhere to be found.

Anyway, if you have a privacy setting somewhere that dumps the cookies that is probably the cause, or at least it is my cause. I want that feature so my work-around is to just copy stuff before I hit send. Then if it disappears it's no trouble to re-paste it.

If I wasn't so exceptionally lazy, I'd use CCleaner (free) and configure it to delete cookies and set up exceptions to disregard Accuratereloading.com

I agree with Peter; laptops with touchpad sensitivity set too high are prone to this (it's happened to me on my laptop if I brushed across the keypad inadvertently).

Turn the touchpad sensitivity down (or off).

I don't even use the touchpad,I use a corded mouse. The touchpad is turned off. Only reason I posted as this is the only forum it happens on. I can write forever on all the others. Just wondered if it was a parameter or I had something set incorrectly. I'm not very knowledgable about PC's as I have said before.I barely know how to respond much less do anything fancy.

Please excuse me for posting this. I didn't realize I had posted before and the answers are the same as last time. Please excuse this post. My ignorance of PC's again shows thru. Just reinforces my dislike for them.
