    hope you didn't spend a lot of time on it....I hate it when that happens. I can't stay logged on anymore and I've tried everything I know to do...sometimes I write a post or pm and discover that I'm no longer logged in when it's time to print. Any suggestions....besides a new puter ?

    My computer has been acting weird on the Scrap Site for about a month now...Only responds when I click something about 75% of the time, so I just downloaded the Firefox web browser today to see if that helps.

    I use Maxthon browser. Haven't had any issues with any site...In fact, I can remove any unwanted "ad banners" from any site with Maxthon.

    Open Word or whatever program you have and type it there. Or type as usual, then copy. If it doesn't go through then you have it to paste when you log back in.

    I haven't been having issues. Using Safari on Mac.

    I've been having issues where if im not active for like, 5 minutes, i get logged out. I always click the "new posts" button when i log in, so if im not active an get logged out, they're no longer new.

    Very irritating.

    Don't know if it makes a difference, but I open the home page, hit "new posts", then right click each post to open in a new window. When done reading I close it then right click on the next and so on.

    I looked into this a bit, seems that clearing your browser cookies might solve the issue.

    Just a friendly reminder, if anyone needs to, you can use the 'contact us' link at the very bottom of the forum if you have any kind of forum issues you'd like addressed. Bugs, issues, suggestions, etc.
