It seems that about half the time when I attempt to post a reply, a pop-up box comes up with a message "Confirm Navigation", and "Changes to this page will be lost", with the options to leave the page or stay on the page. I have found that in these cases, my reply has really already been posted, and if I click on "remain on the page" and hit "post" again, I end up with a duplicate post. So if this happens to you when you hit "post" to post a reply, just click on "leave this page", and you will probably see that your reply was already posted. Appears to be a bug in the forum software. -Bob
 
Bob, I have had the same issue for a couple of weeks now, but sometimes I can't leave the page and have to click out of the BladeForums site all together.
 
I leave the page but then have to hit the back up button a couple times. Usually my post is there.

For some reason mine doesn't refresh on it's own, I have to do it manually. It used to and it did for awhile recently but now it's not doing it again.

I'm technology challenged for sure.
