Having read posts (from zevele) complaining about rude, anonymous posters, I decided to persevere and finally work out why signing on hasn't worked for me.  It turns out that when I set up an account last November, I specified a Username different to my Nickname.  When I tried using my Nickname to sign on, there was no error but nothing happened.

Anyway, now that I've sorted that out, there's a new obstacle to being polite.  Every time I F5 to check for new posts I get this silly dialogue from IE:

This page cannot be refreshed without resending the information.
Click Retry to send the information again,
or click Cancel to return to the page that you were trying to view.

It's VERY annoying.  Almost enough for me to revert to rude anonymity.  Is there some setting to switch this off?

OK, so as soon as I posted that, The problem went away.  But then I noticed that it was because I'd been signed off after posting.

How's this supposed to work?

Also, what's the trick to using "Preview First" without losing everything when you go back?  It seems to be pot luck.

That time it didn't sign me off, and now I no longer get the IE dialogue when I refresh.  So I closed IE, fired up again, typed in the URL and I'm STILL signed on and no more annoying dialogue!!!

A little explanation would be really nice.

Vlad,
I don't know, but this is really an interesting conversation you're having.
