Fixing Broken Things: ASCII Symbols & More

Does it help that I think I know why attachments aren't showing up? The ampersand is being replaced - that escaping thing Hurkyl was talking about. For example, from the source:

attachment.php?attachmentid=5156&d=1129235012

I'd quit mentioning it if I thought anyone had heard me.

I've had problems with several longish posts disappearing with a message that "I'm not authorized". I think that the system is accepting my post to enable me to type it in, then thinking that I am not logged in properly when it comes time to eventually type the message. Result - a lot of wasted time.

Do you mean you can't view attachments?

When you log in, click the "remember me" box, it should prevent you from timing out. If you are going to be taking a very long time on a post, most people will type it in word then paste it into the post. That also allows you to spell check your work.

The "Attached Thumbnails" box shows up, but there are no thumbnails in it. I can find the url in the source, copypaste it, delete the extra characters, and see the images just fine. It's just a bit of a pain.
