Well...how does it happen? Sometimes the system logs you out for no reason. I used to be logged off again and again, right after each post.

Which is why I now have the peculiar habit of c/ping every single post I make, in case I get signed out.

And if you make long posts, never write it in the reply box, write in on a computer program for example Word or Notepad.

When I write something and click submit it takes me to the first page and doesn't post. Also I spent one hour writing a story that didn't post -.-

Does it log you out? Because that usually does not happen. And yeah we do know you spent an hour on the story...next time, Word.

Nope it just doesn't post, and words a bit anoying because of smart symbols and all.

I've never seen this happen. Maybe it's a profile-related glitch...

Well, you can write in Notepad, since AG can read all of their symbols.

Again, the best way is to c/p every single post, just in case.

And, does it happen every single time?

If it happened every single time, he wouldn't be able to post.

And, unfortunately, your problem may not be fixed until it happens to a few (hundred) more people. Generally, the site mechanics won't fix problems applying to just one user.

No but it does quite a bit, in fact when I tried to make this thread the first time it didn't appear it just refreshed the page.

Could be a problem with your internet settings. Or internet itself.

Try using Explorer instead. It doesn't glitch very often.

Mac or PC? Safari is great for Macs, Explorer works better for PCs. Chrome is one I would not recommend for either.

PC, really why it's extremely fast and it's much easier to use for searching, the oly problem I've ever had is slow buffering. IE is just waaayyyy to big and slow. Maybe there's something you know that I don't about this wouldn't be the first person...
