Ok, who broke Quick Reply?
Posting but goes through the 'do you really want to risk life, limb, and all your possessions leaving this page?' dialog every time. A tad tiresome after about the 10th go round!
EDIT ... and now the advanced editor too!
EDIT 2 ... with added double posting!

Re: Ok, who broke Quick Reply?
It should only ask you that if you gave focus to the quick reply box and typed something into it. If you did not type something into the box, then you should leave the page without issue. I just tested and it worked correctly for me (no prompt if I didn't type in the box even if I gave it focus), prompted if I had typed into the box.

Ditto... Only time I get the warning is if I type something and click the back button without posting anything.
I'm using Chrome & Win 7 and IE10 works ok too.

Re: Ok, who broke Quick Reply?
Am I right in thinking that it appears for you while you are actually submitting a post?
If so I occasionally get the same problem (often including a double post), and it happens when I am having internet connection issues. The forum software deals with it to some degree, but not perfectly (hence the warning and double posting).

Ahhh. Now that would be an example of something working wrong....

Re: Ok, who broke Quick Reply?
I see this on VERY infrequent occasions. It's about 1 in 30, or less. I believe that if I make the wrong choice here I have an opportunity to double post, but I'm not sure. I always choose the option to leave the page, and the post always shows up, so all is well (except that the message is kind of in error). If I thought that the message meant that I had forgotten to submit the post and opted to stay on the page and hit submit, I expect that I would get a duplicate post. After all, the first post has been submitted regardless of what option I choose on the messagebox.
It's possible that if I opted to stay on the page and tried to resubmit, the software might tell me that it would be a duplicate, but I haven't tried it.
There is another variation on this where I hit the submit button and get a message about needing to wait X seconds before posting again. In this case, posting again does result in a duplicate. This variant occurs about as infrequently. I have a vague memory that they occasionally occur one after the other, though I'm not sure.

Yeah what si_the_geek said. Seems to have fixed itself now.

Re: Ok, who broke Quick Reply?
Hadn't seen this for ages and then got it a couple of times yesterday and once just now. Also, perversly, yesterday I managed to navigate away from a half finished post without getting the message.
