Default I lose so many posts here. Where do they go?

I don't know how many times I've been posting & have gone out to get a Forum URL then come back to find a blank page--everything I've written gone. Same thing with the More options on Smilies. Anyone else have this problem?

Are you checking the "remember me" option when signing in? If not, your time is limited when you log in and you'll be automatically logged out if there is no activity for a certain amount of time.

Yes, I do check that.

The only other things I can think of is:

1) You're clicking on "preview post" which is next to "submit reply" when you're finished typing. I've done that and then wonder where my post is.

OR

2) When you click over to open another window you inadvertently close the window you had NT open in and that erases your post.

Not sure if either of these scenarios is correct but I can't think of anything else. Maybe someone who is more computer literate (like Jo!) can figure it out.

I'm on my iPad. Don't know whether that figures in.

Does it have multiple tabs - so you can have the NT open on one page/tab and open a new page/tab to look for a url?

I'm not sure if you mean that you go away from the ipad to get a url somewhere else?
or look for one on the ipad - and then when you come back to the NT page all is gone??

If the ipad browser has a setting for cookies and allowing some to be saved - that might help by adding the NT url into the allowed/saved list.

I'm not that familiar with ipads or Apple products.
