Planning on getting some sleep I found myself drawn (arrrgh!) to post a reply to some thread. But I was not logged in. The page after logging in is blank and says "Comment on" and nothing else. Can you reproduce this? I never tried it before and expected to get a logged in reply box with the text of the thread parent, a la slashdot.org. Thanks.

    The "Preview" feature simply stores the information in the form (not on the server). So if you use any other form (such as the chatterbox, login nodelet, etc.), then all of those fields get lost. After you've logged in, hit your "Back" button, then hit the "Preview" button, and you might be able to post as yourself rather than as Anonymonk (I haven't tested it but I don't think the form cares who you are until you finish previewing).

    If someone does test it, please reply with the results. Thanks.

    Test post from mattr.

    I closed the browser, came back in as an AM.

    Clicked preview once then logged in. -> get empty "preview page".

    Now back button and submit.

    Updated: (neat!)
