Didn't see this bug listed so couple times I get a pop up saying server error connecting to server. No not on this end. That I have checked. Twice now in the middle of writing posts it came up, threw me out of the post I was writing and was lost. This last one was a lengthy one on how to pull another boat and boom the error of death.
Thought I'd post it. Not a complaint but a bug report. The vent topic was closed so if this is the wrong place plz move to proper place.
Thanks
Mark

I've had that one a few times, just click the 'OK' and carry on (it's never thrown me out and lost all the text). When you 'post reply', normal error will resume... ;) What browser are you using, I'm using Firefox and seem to be getting less problems than most people....

I think this is the one popping up while you're writing a message. As Chris said, click OK and carry on. If you get a database error after submitting the post, click OK. If you don't see the post after clicking the OK button in the error box, usually refreshing the page will show it. The IT group is working furiously to find these and get them out of our hair. Stick with us, Rebel.

All may not be lost! If you'd like to go back and complete your post, you may still be able to do so. At the top of where it says write something, highlighted in yellow, you should find (Previously entered content was automatically saved. (Restore or Discard.) Just click on restore and most everything you have typed should reappear. Hope it works for you, good luck.:) PS,Thanks for letting us know of the situation.:)

Thanks guys. I should have added that this time when it happened it actually kicked me back to the topics list. I didn't get the chance to hit okay or anything.
