    When I create a new topic I can write it and it then makes me sign in again after I hit "submit". The post is then gone, which is pretty annoying when you've just written a battle report. Twice.

    Help me please, I'm too dumb for the internet!

    My guess is that, due to writing a long report, your account just timed out. It happens on almost all sites if you're inactive for a certain length of time, it's primarily a security thing. My advice would be to, if you have a long report, write up the report in a text editor, notepad or something would be ideal, and then just paste it over when you post it here :)

    Having said that, however, I'd be interested to hear if anyone else is having trouble posting?

    I also had this issue when I was posting my army list. However, after some re-writing, I made sure to copy the list before attempting to submit it again. Thankfully I didn't have to worry about the re-write, but it was still something I was having issues with at the time.

    it's not a timeout, I get it with short posts as well sometimes. I suspect it has something to do with the security settings of the internet explorer, as it seems to work with firefox. With firefox it even remembers me properly when I return to the site.

    Lol, actually the "remember me" thing was a forum bug which I only got round to fixing yesterday :p

    I don't know much about IE since I never use it.
