Perhaps Doug can assist with my problem, or is everybody now experiencing the same problem?

When we add a New Topic we are invited at its end to either Preview Post or Add New Topic. I have always used the Preview Post to see what it all looks like; however, the last couple of days when using Preview Post my computer locks up (is this the correct word?)

I cannot use anything, keyboard, mouse moves but won't access anything. The only way to restore status quo is to turn off the computer completely, not sleep or hibernate but fully off.

The problem here is that when the computer restarts I have now lost all my tabs and have to start trying to get back to where I was before my troubles.

Have any other members had this same problem?

Hi Maurice,

It works as normal here, and this machine is ancient by computer standards.

-almost new if it was a projector, but we live in an age of obsolescence!

No problems here Maurice...AND

my computer is probably older than Steve's [Wink]

Ok here Jon.

Great to see you back in the forum!

OK here at work, and this machine is new enough to be a carton of milk! (It arrived Tuesday afternoon.)

Machine at home: December, 2004

Maurice,

I also tested the Preview Post option and had no difficulty. I hope one of our members can help figure out why your computer would freeze up when attempting to preview.
