This is an on going issue but when I type a post then edit, then try to do another edit the first edit disappears unless I reload. It is a pain to make 2 edits without having to reload the page. Can this be fixed?

This is a problem with the way the vBulletin forum software works. I've encountered it too. So far, the authors of vBulletin have been able to lessen this problem (it used to be worse) but not eliminate it.

Still wonders if they'll fix the bug (and I'm assuming it has something to do with vBulletin as this is not the only forum that does it), when I edit something, I have to mouse click on the save edit button because if I use the shift-enter combo, I get errors, 100% of the time and have to re-edit, and retype.

I've never encountered the problem though I've done the steps using Firefox.

Are you using Safari?

I get it in Safari, it happens if I go to re edit a post the original edit doesn't show up unless I exit the page then reload it.

Aye...using Safari. I'll post a screenshot of it.

This is the error message I get when editing and using SHFT-return

This doesn't happen in Firefox, though.
