Default anyone else experienc this

Has anyone else been able to start and type a response to a post and when you get to "post reply" and press that option you get kicked back to the "login in" box ie "timed out" and everything you typed to post is NOW all gone? Obviously you're logged in, IF NOT, it wouldn't let you type the response. Very frustrating

Yes, I've had this happen to me too. I've found that the safest thing to do is to refresh the BARN web page before writing the reply or new post. If the message is long, I copy it first before trying to post it so I don't lose it into the ether.

Yes, but not as often now since I got my new glasses. I can now reply to most posts without nodding off in the middle.

I’m glad I’m not the only one that’s had this issue…..I thought it was because I typed so slow…I try to remember to refresh before I start with my peck and search keyboard skills…….I can type with both hands but only one finger on each hand……Mark

That happened to me several times, but only when writing a long response. So what I do is like Glen, I copy what I have so I don’t have to re-type.

Happens every time! My solution is to type in a text editor then copy the text. After that is done I go back to the post, open a reply and paste the response.

I guess so, because I don't remember you.
