Make sure you have cookies enabled in your browser..

After posting and you re-read your post, and you see an error and want to correct it, just hit Edit at the bottom left hand corner of the post, next to quote. This should not load any other page, but instead bring back up the WYSIWYG text tool, and edit what you need to.

No Dude its not like that!...I can post all day long" but when i need to fix spelling words (that means all the time) I get this Big white screen that says Please re-enter your name and password,...so i do just that and it works, But it happens every time no matter how many times I have posted,..."Geting old m8"

Okay, this sounds like it might be a browser-related problem, something with the way cookies are stored and/or the way the little editing utility is displayed.

You're saying that when you post, the "enter name and password" dialogue doesn't appear. But when you try to edit, it appears, right?

Hmm...what browser are you using? (Just a shot in the dark, as apparently no one else as run into it.)

I had this happen to me once, Don't remember when but i do remember that is was after i had logged on and was posting when i got this error or what ever it was, And Only when I tryed to edit my current post.

I Know this is not helpful and i'm sorry.

Are you using the ieSpell tool? I get that popup when I click on the "Check Spelling" box over the smilies.
