Yesterday and again today I've written replies, clicked post and then seen them disappear not to be displayed.

I think I used the quick reply in both recent cases.

It may be that my log-in period expired (I normally select 1 hour), but if so the forum software didn't produce a warning.

Is this happening to anyone else?

It's not happening to me but you get no warning of being 'timed out'. It just ejects you and you have to log in again.
Can I suggest you log in for a day rather than an hour and see if it makes any difference?

Or forever, which is what I do

I've found it all too easy to enter your forum name, password and then just hit 'Enter' but that only logs you on for the default 1 hour

Indeed, why wouldn't you? I see no reason at all to limit the login time unless you're on a public computer or something.

Bealman · January 18, 2024, 10:29:17 AM

That's right. I just sit down at my computer, or use my phone, and all the latest posts are there in front of me.

I've switched to selecting 1 day as the long in period.

My computers are shared so I don't want to leave myself logged in permanently. Unless of course you'd like to hear about my 8 year old's thoughts on Unicorns and her theory on how the Tooth Fairy and Easter Bunny are working in collaboration...

The tooth fairy and Easter bunny collaboration sounds quite interesting actually

Steven B · January 19, 2024, 08:59:29 AM

Apparently the Tooth Fairies (there's more than one!) plant the teeth which grow into plants that produce the money the fairies hand out. Any profit they make goes to the Easter Bunny (just one of those) to pay for the chocolate eggs... The chocolate eggs then help children loose their teeth and the cycle continues!

That's pretty advanced thinking there! My 7 year old was just disappointed this week that the tooth fairy only provided £1, and my 3 year old was just annoyed her teeth weren't falling out!

It would be interesting.
