Lets say I decide to post a message (or a response) here on the YT discussion forum. I type my message and then submit it. The message tells me to proof read what I did then go back to correct anything before moving on again. Everytime I backup I get blanked, my message is missing and I have to start all over again. Lately I've been using "cut" (control C) to save the message with the error in it then "paste" (control V) back into the message box and then do my corrections. Any idea of why I can't just back up normally and correct the original error?

if you backed up to the forum it will not show your follow up, you need to hit the "refresh" button.

I have never had any problems using the proffread and back buttons.

Good you found a way around it but like Paul said it must be one of your settings.

It probably has to do with your browser's preferences. See if you can find the cache in your preferences if it is set to always update it will automatically refresh your page and blank out the form. You can expirement to find the correct setting for you.

I have the same trouble. I think there is a time-out timer since it only seems to blank out when I have a long response and I am a slow typer. I use the copy/paste routine too. It's the only thing I know of to get around it.

What operating system, what browser & version are you running, and what are the security settings & firewall software are you using????

I believe you will find the answer in there somewhere, but I can't tell you exactly which - perhaps giving Kim that info on the 'site comments' are would help.

Such a thing happens once in a long while to me, but not often.

I do my proofreading before I click the submit button. Then I just click twice and am done.

i have had that happen on occasion and it is agrivating. I suppose it is the page refreshing itself. I know some guys routinely use wordpad or such to type long posts and then cut&paste.

The message telling you to proofread is for your own use only, or to give you a chance to retract the cussing you just gave someone. You can hit submit and it will be sent just the way you typed it, if that's what you want. There are a lot of people who regularly post messages or give replys, and they do not know how to spell, or use punctuation, and their messages get posted with no problems. As long as we are able to get the main idea, nobody much cares.

I just hit the "back" button in the top left corner of the screen.
