I have a question. Whenever I try to post I get an invalid message screen (well most of the time anyway). It makes it hard to post and I have to try a lot of times to get it to post. Does anyone know why this is?

Invalid_ Session screen?
Its because until your character has been accepted, alot of things have been blocked. Once your character is approved, ill unblock things for you

The other reason could be a small problem with your cookies. Cookies have an expiration time and if you visit it will set one for 1800 seconds (around 30 minutes).
If you start a post and dont finish it in that time it expires your session. and you wind up with an invalid session. I have upped the expiration to 99999 seconds (the max) and that should fix the problem for non-members. But post quickly just in case.

For larger posts I suggest the tried and tested method of cut and paste. Write your post in Word or Notepad and then copy or cut and paste into the 'post a reply' box. At least this way you avoid losing your post if you get an Invalid_Session message or (like me) your internet connection suddenly fails.

I think it does indeed have to do with time, but not in the sense any of you are saying. It's like, if I do a very quick post, it doesn't work, but if I wait a little longer it does, but if I wait too long it doesn't, but if I wait a really long time it does. Confusing? You bet it is.
And another thing. If there is a pop-up or something while I'm typing my post, or if I go to another screen before I hit submit, then the post will not work. This is really annoying because sometimes random things pop-up and I can't post. I wonder what the problam could be?
Needless to say, I still haven't fingured it out.
