I'm a new member. I typed a lengthy question at 6AM this morning hit "Preview" and it disapeared. I re-entered it at 8:15 PM tonight just hit "Post" it just disapeared. Neither item increased my "Post" counts. What am I doing wrong?

I see you posted 5 times. Are you saying you posted more?

I'm not a techie and I defer to others, but sometimes I get the same "Authentication Ticket Mismatch" comment or something like that after typing for a long time then posting. After a period of time of non-use the forums will automatically log you out.

I can't speak to Yahoo though. Were you hitting a back button maybe? Deferring to others...
