Having a lot of trouble posting

[friz]

Does this site save a New Thread or a Reply before it is actually posted in as a draft? or is it lost?

Next, this has happened several times and it is becoming frustrating to the point of no longer wasting my time posting. Not every time but several.
1. I log in. Site responds "Welcome, friz."
2. Click New Thread and type away.
3. Click "Submit" and the site reponds "You are not logged in" or something
similar.
4. I log in (again) and the site responds "Welcome friz."
5. My New Thread has disappeared! I cannot find it anywhere. This also
happens when replying to a thread.
6. I have gotten to the point of after the site tells me I am not logged in,
after I have logged in, to save what I have typed in a Word document in
anticipation of losing it, when I log in, again.
7. This is crazy. It just did it again. Is there a time-out when posting?
