I got this note from a user.

Hi John,

I keep forgetting to log-on before preparing a post, and my post gets wiped out when I go to post it. Someone was going to look into a fix w/ Snitz.

I'm incurable, so must ask if there is any help coming for flakes like me...

tell him to remember to login before posting or to copy everything he has typed before hitting submit.

You can force them to log in before they post. I have added this to my forum over the weekend thanks to another Snitz forum member. You can check out my forum to see how it works. Just try to add or reply to a topic and you'll see what it does. If you then logged in, it would take you back to the post screen and allow you to post. Here is what he did:

In post.asp:

Find:
%>






<%

Add this underneath:

'#### [Require Login to Post - NJP addon] ##############################################
if mLev = 0 then
Err_Msg = "<li>You must be logged in before you can post to the forums." & _
" <ul><li>If you are a registered member and already have a valid userID and password, please wait 10 seconds to be re-directed to the login page.</li>" & _
" <li>Otherwise click on the register link below to obtain your very own UserID and Password. Registration is Free.</li></ul></li>" & vbNewLine

Response.Write "There Is A Problem!" & vbNewLine & _
"<table align=""center"" border=""0"">" & vbNewLine & _
" <tr>" & vbNewLine & _
" <td><ul>" & Err_Msg & "</ul></td>" & vbNewLine & _
" </tr>" & vbNewLine & _
" <tr>" & vbNewLine & _
" <td align=""center"">" & vbNewLine

scriptname = split(request.servervariables("SCRIPT_NAME"),"/")
if Request.QueryString <> "" then
Response.Write " <a href=""login.asp?target=" & lcase(scriptname(ubound(scriptname))) & "?" & Request.QueryString & """><acronym title=""Login Here or Wait to re-directed to the Login Page..."">Login Here</acronym></a> or Wait for Automatic Redirection to Login Page " & vbNewLine & _
"<meta http-equiv=""Refresh"" content=""10; URL=login.asp?target=" & lcase(scriptname(ubound(scriptname))) & "?" & Request.QueryString & """>" & vbNewLine
else
Response.Write " <a href=""login.asp?target=" & lcase(scriptname(ubound(scriptname))) & """><acronym title=""Login Here or Wait to re-directed to the Login Page..."">Login Here</acronym></a> or Wait for Automatic Redirection to Login Page " & vbNewLine & _
"<meta http-equiv=""Refresh"" content=""10; URL=login.asp?target=" & lcase(scriptname(ubound(scriptname))) & """>" & vbNewLine
end if

Response.Write " <a href=""policy.asp""" & dWStatus("Register to post to our forum...") & " tabindex=""-1""><acronym title=""Register to post to our forum..."">Register Here</acronym></a> if You Don't Have a UserID and Password " & vbNewline & _
" <a href=""JavaScript:history.go(-1)"">Cancel</a> and Return to Previous Page " & vbNewline & _
" </td>" & vbNewLine & _
" </tr>" & vbNewLine & _
"</table> " & vbNewLine

WriteFooter
Response.End
end if
'#### [/Require Login to Post - NJP addon] ##############################################

Then in login.asp follow these steps found here.
