Auto-refresh wiping away new comments

Are you folks using the reply page or the quick reply?

NP and when I’ve had this problem, it’s been with quick reply (on iPhone with Chrome).

Try to use the reply forum rather than quick reply. There should be fewer or even no problems.

IOS iPhone, Firefox browser. Wiped away comments.

Same. It was fine for awhile but now back and happening a lot. Happens to both Quick Reply and regular Reply.

Android/Quick Reply here

Experiencing this issue on iPad. It happens when I minimize the window to open another window. Preemptively pasting my replies in notes. It’s been annoying enough that I get caught up in work/life and don’t even go back to reply. Quick reply? I don’t see that option. I either use the post reply bottom left or quote option to reply directly to a pp.

Oh right, postreply has no ads and shouldn’t have this problem.

Ironically when I OPENED this thread, the page re-loaded within 2 seconds.

Still happens in post reply. About a minute after I started typing.

What browser are you using? I checked again and the reply page has absolutely no ad code. All pages in the forum have a refresh function to keep sessions alive. It gets triggered every 60 seconds so there is some correlation there. That should not be noticeable to users but maybe it is working differently in your case for some reason.
