I'm not sure how old he is, but I heard him use the word 'newfangled' one time, so he's gotta be pretty far gone.

I really dislike the fact that the posting box is erased if you move to another page?

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?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

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.

Serial:

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

I just paged back 15 pages, and all my posts are still there, and still there on the way back here.

Very weird.

That's really just a matter of whether the page is cached or not, isn't it -- something that we have no control over.

The only question, for me, is why WX was cached, but not this place.

Thanks for all the fish.

Yes, when I hit the 'back' button my post is not saved in the posting box.

Lemme try something. I just changed the cache setting in Mozilla to not compare pages every time.
