posting to a forum
This has nothing to do with muzzleloaders. BUT sometimes when I attempt to post a reply to a topic, I get an error message and it appears as if you have lost the site. If you hit the refresh button, normally it will correct the problem and post the reply. And this does not happen every time. Just from time to time (normally when I have a very long reply). I just wondered if this happens to others or if you know a way to correct this. I've cleaned my cookies, and temp files.. enabled cookies.. just wondering..

RE: posting to a forum
I've had that happen a few times, and like you said, it's usually when I'm posting a long reply or new post. When I'm doing one that I don't want to re-type I will copy it to a Word file as a back up just in case. I've not found a definitive cause for it but suspect it may be an ISP issue where slow activity causes a glitch in the conection. It sure can be frustrating when you spend 10 or 15 minutes typing a post only to have it disappear.

RE: posting to a forum
I've had it happen a time or two also - always on a long post or when I'm interrupted and leave a short post unfinished for a while. I suspect it's because someone else has posted a reply between the time I started and finished, but don't really know if that's the reason.
