Whenever this happens I have to log out, log back in again, and go back to the thread i was replying in. It’s really annoying and I’ve lost a post this way (Notepad is my friend, Notepad is my friend…) Is it a board glitch or something on my end?

Win Vista + Firefox 3.6 if it’s relevant.

Thanks for specifying your browser version number.

This is a reported bug in Firefox 3.6:  
[http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/forum/1/565399](http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/forum/1/565399)

The only known solution at this time is to downgrade back to 3.5.7.

Thanks. 🙂 I was considering that anyway as Facebook is giving me some strange behavior… definitely going to downgrade now.
