I used the Microsoft "Live" login, my hotmail account tends to be my spam bucket nowadays.

I started by typing in a problem report with "delicious library". Someone else had a similar problem so I was adding a description of the program's behavior as a reply to an existing thread. My post was the sixth on the page. Once I pressed "post reply" I was prompted to create an account. Upon completing the registration process, I was redirected to the same page, but my post was no longer there. Bummer.

I never bothered to re-type my complaint. Instead I asked a question of the developer and got an answer. Good to get an answer, bad that it wasn't what I wanted to hear...

Ah, now there's a (javascript?) pop-up window warning me that I'm going to lose everything I typed. I don't remember seeing that the first time. Good thing I backed out (cancel on the pop-up, then cancel on the log-in) to copy the text. That's probably what happened the first time. Is there no way to hold a session open for a few minutes to let someone login without losing their post?
