I STILL have Spoiler Threads and the Mountie thingie and PPO and all these threads I don't understand.
Still have them where? On the front page, they're supposed to be there. Subscribing puts them in Message Centre.

Thanks, John. I'm better now. Last night I was under the impression that message center and home were the same. Well, because they were everytime I checked.

I have a bookmark for Message Centre, and when I click on it, sometimes it takes me to the frontpage and tells me to log in.
I might email ita about it if I can figure out the exact circumstances where that happens.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I just had a post eaten. Got an error message, but I didn't copy it because I immediately tried to go back to save my post. Have I mentioned yet that I really dislike the fact that the posting box is erased if you move to another page? This is unlike WX, where if your post crashed, you could go back, and it would still be sitting in the posting box. I don't know if that's possible to implement, but it sure would be handy.

Test -- it doesn't happen to me, I don't think.
[EDIT]
I posted the above, used the "back" button, and the post was still there in the posting box.
Maybe it's a browser thing?

Thanks for all the fish.
It doesn't save the post in the posting box for me, either.

Using the "back" button? As opposed to the "Previous" link that is?

It's funny. I reentered what I wrote (it was in Sang Sacre, so it was long, too) edited it, and then was able to go back to the edit page and it was still in the posting box.
What I used to be able to do on WX was when I was mearaing, I could copy some text on a page, paste it in the posting box, go back a couple of pages, grab another piece of text, go forward to the posting box, paste the new text, and the original material I pasted would still be there. It seems that on the Phoenix, the Back and Forward buttons act in the same manner as the Previous and Next links do, redrawing the page every time, rather than just moving from one cached page to another. Except for the edit page.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My posts are saved. That's weird that you guys are experiencing something different.

And I just checked. When I hit the back button, the text box was empty.
