Problem when previewing a post. - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

I have recently made a post with a couple of pictures attached which I previewed prior to posting to ensure that the pictures were decipherable.

From preview, when I selected a picture, the post was replaced on the screen by the selected picture (as expected in preview), but when I clicked the back button to return to the previewed post, first I got one of those "page expired" type messages, then, going back once more to the previewed post I found that it no longer had any attachments. Any thoughts?

Maybe not connected, but I've noticed that if I have several forum windows open, then going back from viewing a picture doesn't always take me back to the window I came from.

Test image.

Worked OK.

If you have problems displaying a website correctly this first course of action is to clear the cache and any saved web data. It very often clears problems.

I have had a similar problem and clearing the offline website data clears it up.
There was another problem that made a website I have never used before appear as well.
Both issues were fixed by this action.

You can set Firefox, and presumably all the other Browsers, to do this automatically on closure.
