Losing form entriesI just wrote a long description of my first experience with WAM, submitting it only to find out that I had been logged out in the meantime. When going back in my browser (IE7) history to the form entry page, it was immediately reloaded and replaced with a version saying I had to log in, and the text I had entered was thereby lost to me. I should have written it in a separate editor rather than directly in the browser. Would it be possible not to trigger reloading of form pages in situations like this one? Maybe you could even allow previously logged in users to submit form entries they have been allowed to begin entering? If the problem is specific to certain browsers (such as IE), maybe you can simply warn users about it? I normally use Firefox, but I haven't tried it in this situation on WAM. I hope to be able to relate my first experience with WAM some other day. You deserve it for providing such a nice collaborative environment behind a formidable roadblock that, initially, almost made me give up on you. |

Thank you! I'm not sure about what actually triggered the reload; it may be that my browser was poorly configured. Now I'm back home where I only use Firefox Mozilla, and Page Info says "Not specified" about the expiry date, so I trust you when you say that you don't deliberately reload any pages.
For now, I'll continue investigating the site, but I will return to this matter if and when I find anything that may contribute to a solution. I agree with you that it will hardly be detectable by long-time users staying logged in forever, but it would of course be nice if we can give first-time users an easier time too.
I'm sorry for the loss of your text. Just the other day I was filling a credit card application for 30 minutes and after sending 'Your session has ended' and *puff* my hard work was gone. I can totally relate to you.
We are not deliberately reloading any pages after going to previous page and I haven't seen this behaviour happening to me, but I'm mostly logged in with the remember me-option on.
I have to check IE7 out and try if I can repeat the problem. If anybody has same kind of experiences, leave a comment.
