    Hi:

    I logged in, selected my interest area and spent an hour composing and getting
    my new posting just right.
    I selected "send ".

    I was informed that I was not logged in.
    I had to log in.

    And my new posting was gone.

    Did I take too long from selecting a new thread until
    selecting send ?

    Thanks

    We'll try again some other day - and yes, this time, we will compose
    off line via Word or Wordpad. Then copy and paste and send right off.
    Seems that I just answered my own posting !

    Please observe Posting Rules #3 - Meaningful Subject - I have adjusted your title.

    Why don't you simply use autologon to the BBS - check the box when you log on.

    I have lost many posts on the WindowsBBS ... :( ... but it was in most cases my own fault. Clicking the back-button will probably not make your day, so to speak, when composing a post. My browser has returned a "page not found" when trying to preview ... :eek: ... with the same happy outcome. My standard procedure is, when composing anything that takes longer than a minute, to click ctrl+A and ctrl+C every now and then. If for some reason it gets lost, ctrl+V will put it back.

    If you need to go elsewhere on the BBS while composing a reply hit Ctrl+N for a duplicate page and go elsewhere on the Board from there - return to the original page when done.
