When you're typing something long in the Forums, the game can time you out.
No biggie, but in the old Jolty forum, you just logged in at the screen that told you that you were timed out, and your action (posting, for example) would continue with nothing lost.
THIS forum is a bit of a tease. It gives you a login screen, and when I tried to login with it, I got this annoying message:
You cannot login via the forum. Log in with your nation first!
Not only that, but I could not use my browser's "back" button to retrieve my text.
Now I know I should have copied the text to my clipboard, and that's why I'm more mad at myself, but still -- if you're going to have the system put up a login screen for when you're trying to post something after you've timed out, it should bleeding well work.
Is this a bug, or some kind of Vogon/Sirius Cybernetics patience exercise feature?
Thanks in advance for the answer.
