Posting is a pain, what am I doing wrong
 

I log in, try to post a reply or start a new thread, and when I hit the submit button, there is a box that says I am either not logged in, or not authorized to do the stated function- try again. Seven of seven times this has happened, and I can either back up and try a few more times and it will work, or I have to relog-in and retype everything again. What a I missing or doing wrong?

Did you get a reply from the forum when you first registered? if so, did you activate it?

Place a check mark on "remember me" when you log in.

Cant remember shit. its been 9,000 posts ago. :)

He must have activated it since he has nine posts thus far. The Remember Me check mark is a good tip. Maybe it's an issue with a slow Internet connection that keeps dropping and loses the pwd details on reconnection...? In which case the Remember Me should work.
