Well, perhaps it’s one. I’ll let you all be the judge. When I use a new computer and I’m not logged in, it has “unregistered” in the user box down below. I type my post, change the user to EnderW24, and type in my password. Then I click “submit.” It tries to process my post but it stops and asks for my password again. When I type it in, now my post gets lost. “No thread specified,” it says. So now I have to go all the way back to the original thread, copy my post, go completely out of the thread, reload the thread, and then paste my post back in. Is this a glitch? Anyone else notice this? ---
