I've wrote a long post on Gentoo forum and proceed with the "Submit" button, but instead of posting it I've got a log-in form. I've entered my credentials again and was redirected back to the "Post a new topic" page, but it was clear. It is very disappointing, when you need to do a double work with no reason. It is possible to reproduce this behaviour by logging out in another browser tab/window. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Log in to Gentoo forum 2. Open "Post a new topic" page, write some text. 3. Open Gentoo forum in another tab, proceed with "Log out [username]" link 4. Return to the first tab and proceed with "Submit" button. 5. Enter your username and password Actual Results: Clear "Post new topic" form Expected Results: Either a posted topic or "Post new topic" form with previously entered text. Also, when I use the back button of my browser (firefox), I expect to see the previous page (with filled form), but it redirects to log-in page anyway.

Open Gentoo forum in another tab, proceed with "Log out [username]" link I'll leave the authoritative reply to the forums team, but I think that your assumption that you can continue to use unsaved data after you have ended your session is wrong. So, in short: Don't log out while posting.
I didn't log out. It's a way how to quickly reproduce the problem. You can just wait for a while instead. Anyway, discarding the message doesn't look as a correct behaviour even when I end the session manually. At least my browser normally remembers old pages. But the forum software somehow prevents me to go back with my browser.
