What?! That’s news to me too. Thanks for highlighting that @cb I had no idea either, and that’s way easier to use than the “quote” function.

Thanks for that, I always used to quote the whole darn thing, sorry for my ignorance guys.
Maybe they are right 🙁 can’t teach an old dog new tricks lol

I didn’t know this either. I guess you learn something new everyday. Thanks for the tip.

@cb apparently that quote trick only works on desktop – I tried on my iPhone, and it didn’t allow me to just quote the selected portion. Which is a bummer since that’s mostly how I use the forum. Oh well, it’ll be a nice trick for the occasional desktop weigh in.

It has been awhile since I had any issues. Tonight I went to submit a post and when I hit the submit button. I was logged out and I lost my post. Just wondering if anyone else has had any issues.

That happens a lot to me on my tablet when I’m typically starting to post on a new day. Just use your back button. Select and save the post to your clipboard. Log out and log back in. Then you can paste your post contents and submit.

I was using my laptop when this happen. It wasn’t my first post of the day. This happened around my 6th one.

So when this happens I just need to hit my back button and follow your instructions?

Yep. And it doesn’t necessarily happen on a first post of the day. It can happen anytime, but most often it happens when I’m starting out with the first few entries in a day often from using an alreay open tab from the previous day.

Ok.

Maybe this is what happen. I was using a tab that was open from the previous day. I am sure I have used tabs that were open from the previous day before without any problems.

Your session had time out and you need to relog in. If I have post in tabs from the day before I log out then back in before I post those tabs.

Then after you log out & back in you need to reload the tabs or you will get the message “are you sure you want to do that”

I didn’t know you could do this. A new feature for me.

In the unexpected event that somebody at Bosch still monitors this thread to alert Bosch internally that there is any issues with your site and such, you’re ProVantage site is either down or such that we all get security warnings it is not to be accessed. FWIW.
