My IT guy at work says he would guess it is an issue with the server set-up - there is a limit on how many users can be on at once. The system looks for an "inactive" site access - and cuts it off to allow others. Problem is....it doesn't seem to read typing time - answering posts, writing PM's etc as active use. So it "times out" while you are typing.....absolutely infuriating, right?

If you type a post or PM ...right click on it to highlight what you've written- and choose "copy". Left click somewhere off the text to remove the highlight and then try "Post Reply". If it stops you - work your way back to the text box you were using - then choose "paste" (it should put your stuff back in there) - hit the post reply as soon as possible after re-entry. This method will work even if you have to re-enter your e-mail and pass code as a member.

I use Firefox also. Click on tools at the top of your browser then options. A new window will pop up. Click on privacy then select accept cookies from sites. That should do it. I also use IE when I post photos or links in my replies as I can't do so with my Firefox. Mike

I feel your pain, I have been trying to post a reply for some time now. Not sure what I did to make it happen but it had become a quest!

What browser are you using on the desktop computer? Mike

I can no longer access this website on my desktop computer. I can access it from my laptop. When I try on my desktop I get some message about enabling/disabling cookies. I can find nothing in Options about cookies. Anyone know what I need to do?

As mentioned before, when you are signed on, at the bottom right of the forum page is "Delete Forum Cookies". I use that regularly and it also seems to help.

For what it's worth, I've discovered cleaning out my cache (I use Firefox) seems to help with the accessing the site issue- does nothing in regard to the composing a reply SNAFU, however- /Duck

BOO- YA!!!

I too have had my share of frustrations, but I have mitigated the angst by hitting the "Post Reply" after starting the first paragraph and every so often if it is a long post.  After posting each stage of the thread I return to add more with the "Edit" feature from the thread so that my original thoughts don't get erased.  I even post pictures with the "Edit" feature.  I would never use "Spell Check" without  "Edit".

Sometimes you might read one of my posts while I am in the middle of it and wonder why I didn't finish or why I spelled something poorly.

I know that is a lot of work, but its better than beating the keyboard.  I would love to copy and paste, but I have also met with some kind of "YOU CANNOT DO THAT" message.

I was just looking at pictures of Ted's car under "Racing" Y-Blocks on track and one of the pictures was a pop-up for Cox Cable in Spanish!

WTH?
