Yeah-- I just typed out a rather long post here, and when I hit the Submit Post button, the forum software logged me out instead of submitting the post.
Luckily, I backed up and saved the text to the clipboard so I could re-post, but I had to log back in and enter the post again to make it work.
It only happened the once, so I'm not too concerned about it, but it might be worth investigating.
I'll keep an eye on it - and let me know if it's a repeatable error. It almost sounds like the system lost track of your session information for a moment there.
