<3 You Macinsiders
Don't you love it when you made an awesome post that took up 10 to 15 minutes of your time, submitted it just to see this login window. You pause as your brain debates whether to go back (to copy and paste as an attempt to prevent losing what you wrote) or put in your credentials to login in hopes whether Macinsiders will retain your written post?
Well, I decided to login and the box went blank. I didn't bother replying to the post and thanked Macinsiders for wasting 15 minutes of my life.

P.S. Whoever deleted this post in spite of the title, it was a well deserving title.  |

Ctrl-A & Ctrl-C is a time I don't have.
Since Macinsiders is using vBulletin. You might as well implement the autosave feature. Closing and reopening it will give you the draft option. Comes in handy. |

And I like reporting yours.
The post was meant to be sarcastic. You know, like the ones you read from fmylife.com.
Was merely trying to share my pain for god sake. |

I've lost many minutes from this issue. I usually write better on the second time around, or find that if I'm not willing to just rewrite what I just lost, it wasn't a post worth making

I've been known to write hour long posts on some other forums. Believe me when I say I feel your pain, OP.

Ahem. Firefox Add-on, Lazarus Form Recovery.
Never lost a forum post or online form due to backspacing or anything, ever again. It's awesome. You're welcome. |

When your session times out and it asks you to login again, and you type your user/pass and login, it SHOULD retain your post data and then continue to submit the post. You said it went 'white', do you mean it timed out or the page broke? PM me and hopefully we can correct it so it doesn't happen again.
@Amaryll... great plugin! I'm downloading it now  |

just keep it short, problem solved.
I don't know if I'm the only one, but if the posts are long, and I think you're wrong in the first place, I aint gonna read it.
