When I try to post to an existing thread or even start a new thread after I hit the post button below it always pops up the input screen only with nothing on it. I have to hit the saved draft button on the right and select yes for it to finally be in the post window. When I try to start a thread it does the same thing only then I have to re-input the thread title because nothing is saved in draft. Is this normal? "Life is a knife fight in a dirt floor bar. If you get knocked down you better get back up!"

It doesn't do it if I hit preview first only if I go directly to post. "Life is a knife fight in a dirt floor bar. If you get knocked down you better get back up!"

The short answer is yes that is what normally happens.
While you are typing your post every so often your post is saved. I think if you click the post button after a save has happened and don't type any more then the post will go onto the forum board immediately. Otherwise you will have to click the draft button and redo the title before posting. |

Always press CTRL A then CTRL C before pressing the post or preview buttons.
If anything goes wrong, you can then do a CTRL A followed by CTRL V to get everything back. |

My suspicion is that it's a timeout thing.
If you're quick, it's fine. If you take your time, it loses track of who you are, and has to recreate the connection.
Or something. Woo! CSM 9! http://fuzzwork.enterprises/ Twitter: @fuzzysteve on Twitter |

Using chrome I can use the back button to go back into the editor and see the whole thing as it was. The Drake is a Lie |

It's "normal" only in that it's been a bug for a long time, and in that the "Draft" feature CCP added to the forums to save your stuff in case their forum breaks and eats your post is almost completely useless. As indicated by others, the simplest recourse is to use the back button in Google Chrome.
If you plan to spend a lot of time on the forums you should look into using something like the extension I coded for the forums (in my signature) or pre-typing your posts in Notepad so they don't get lost. I don't know what CCP's web team are up to, but none of it is showing in forum fixes unfortunately. Eve Forums Gold!

Now that you mention it, it does only seem to happen in the longer post not the short ones. Thanks. "Life is a knife fight in a dirt floor bar. If you get knocked down you better get back up!"

I think it has something to do with the duration of your time on the page rather than anything you actually do there, iv noticed this more and more this last week or so. Ctrl-c is about all I can offer in terms of a solution.
Fyi, thus is the second time iv typed this post for the exact reason we're discussing. "CAKE CANNOT HOLD UP TO BEING A CHARACTER DAMNIT."
