Just made a huge new thread.. It was an FAQ/Myths/Facts thread about the auto tranny.. Made up a huge giant post.

Click to post.. I gets asked to sign in again. I do so.. Then I get some error message and it tells me to click back.. I do so and I get taken back to the "new thread" page but all my text is gone..

Fail. It was such a good informative post too.

Damnnn. I've had that happen to me a few times in the past but usually when I use the back button on my browser it will take me back to the text I wrote. You can try that, or try clicking around in your history, some browsers have memory.

I just make sure to copy when I write out big posts now.

yeah thats usually the case wehre the browser/site remembers but not this time.. Took my over an hour to write all that up and its gone

Bummer. Sounds like something I'd wanna read though, as I have the 5AT. You should re-write it.

hahaha trust me.. I totally lost the will.. Maybe some other time.

Boooooo this man. Hahaha I totally get you though.

I'll just have to go post a thread spewing all kinds of myths about the 5AT and how terrible it is in hopes that it will compel you to re write your awesome hour long thread.

hahaha that may work..

The thread would have shut up the cocky MT guys for life.

You should always copy or save the text when writing anything looong.
Can't really blame the site.. cuz nothing is flawless

I find it funny, that you create a thread of "this site sucks" when you lost your post as things time out and there are always glitches on internet forums. This has happened to me before, that's why I copy long posts now.

And a H pattern M/T will always be preferred on a sports/touring coupe from a true enthusiast point of view.

and we're not cocky. or i'm not at least.. i just would rather have a MT over an Automatic because when u drive the MT, u make the car drive, not just your foot.... I've been in really fast autos, a lot way faster than mine.. but it just doesn't feel like your "DRIVING" the car...

about the deletion of the post..? yeah man.. that sux.. but what is up with the itrader thing... i mean.. i wanna buy stuff and check on peoples stats.. can't do it.. now that sux..

Look "jonnylaw" this is NOT an MT vs AT thread and neither was the one I was trying to make. It was a thread based off FACTS, FAQ's (Frequently Asked Questions) and to debunk outrageous MYTHS about the tranny and the car that come from the people who drive MT.

So go ahead and take your little "preferred" opinion elesewhere because this is not what its about.

In conjunction to above where I stated this is not an MT vs AT thread, this thread is about an annoying issue I ran into with this website.

I joined this site in late 2004, it ran FLAWLESSLY for 3 years. Then when it was sold to "Internet Brands" it sucked donkey ***** and it is just now getting back to where it even works decent. They hound you to become a "premier" member, and I used to be, but I have found now reason to continue as one. Maybe that will change.

While I understand your frustrations and have experienced them myself, I am not sure who hounds you to become a Premiere Member?
