Thanks for the note, John.  Yours is not the first report of an unexpectedly lost session in recent months.  I'll dig into the issue next week.  Appreciate the feedback! --Matt

   Did you check the "remember me" button?

 "Remember me" been checked on the log-in page I see every time I come here again; I have to log in anew each & every time, unless I leave an active session open in a hidden browser window to return to.

Lost posts have happened to me enough elsewhere I now key in posts in a text app then copy/paste before submitting... I don't lose nothin' this way.

   Matt helped me with log-in problems, the settings I had on blocking third-party cookies were keeping me from logging in. I allowed third-party cookies for this site and it's back to normal.

   I have a similar issues.

Also when typing if I hit "return" it brings the cursor back to the beginning,  instead of bumping it to the next line.  Yeah, I know, dont hit return, just keep typing and the cursor moves for you.   Its petty, but I like to start on a new line sometimes.
