Vanishing of posts within a few seconds.
I click on this Safety and CRM forum and see lots of threads. Decide to reply to one but then somehow I lose Pprune and have to start again. Click on Safety, CRM, QA etc forum again and lo and behold it comes up with a vastly reduced number of posts from the first time - three only in fact and the one I tried to reply on was among those which have vanished. Anyone else struck this phenomenon?

I haven't come across that sort of thing .. amongst all the other little gremlin activities.
I'll refer it to the techos and see if they can come up with a specific answer.
The one which drives me to distraction is when, after spending half an hour on a long post, the system hangs and I lose the lot ... must be a case of just desserts for a misspent youth.

Even better, given the apparent lack of server priority PPrune now has, is to compose the post in a simple text editor before posting. A nuisance, but far less blood from one's head on the wall.

Very annoying indeed. I've learnt to copy my reply to the clipboard

Concur with both .. now, all I need to do is discipline myself into doing that all the time .. rather than just for a few posts after I lose a big one.
I can recall a speedboat ride across an eyebrow-raising body of water in an Asian location years ago on a contract audit job .. while hanging onto my laptop for all I was worth (knowing that if we broached I'd be dead from dissolving long before drowning). Numerous times I prayed to a wide variety of deities for the deliverance of my laptop (you guessed it .. I hadn't backed up before leaving home). I think I was a good boy and backed up religiously thereafter .. for about two weeks as I recall ....

Can you guys give me an idea of how long is 'long' in time?
My gut reaction is you are hitting a session time limit and then being bounced to one of the many other virtual machines for load balancing. If I get a good idea of the times you are experiencing when this happens, it will help me find out.
