I don't know if it is a problem with this web page or my browser, but I often get a message that "a problem with Internet Explorer has forced this web page to refresh" or something similar to occur fairly often.
This isn't generally an issue although it can be annoying if I happen to be typing a response because I will lose what I have typed. If I have typed a decent amount of text, I lose that text and have to retype it from scratch (which happened earlier this morning). It would be pretty lousy if I have to type all my responses elsewhere and paste them in. Or, sometimes, I become so angry that I don't bother retyping it (or I can't remember everything I typed).
I have gotten into the habit of copying all posts (to any forum, not just ER) to the clipboard before hitting the Submit button because that I have found to be a vulnerable moment to lose posts anywhere. But I have to get to that point first without an unexpected "refresh" occurring.
