    For the past week or so I'm getting a popup that says:

    Are you sure you want to navigate away from this page?

    Changes in the editor will be lost.

    I haven't made any changes in the editor.

    Any ideas?

    If you type something in a text field and then click away from the page, there's a script in place that will confirm you actually want to leave the page (and thus lose whatever you typed).

    I think it's a little too sensitive, as it prompts me even if I typed something and then deleted it. It also kicks in after I've submitted a post on occasion, apparently because it's trying to double-submit my post. But on the whole, it's a convenience feature, making sure you don't accidentally lose your post content before submitting it.

    Thanks. It's just weird because I always copy/paste my comments from Word. I'm spelling challenged.

    Yeah, I'm having the issue too. When I click to submit a post I often get pop-ups or redirect warning and error messages. It's a bit of a pain. Thinking that thus far the 60/100 times it's hassling me on posts outweighs the convenience of the 1/100 times it might save a post I've half-typed.

    If you use firefox (at least, other browsers might do it too) it has a spell check feature where it underlines misspelled words in red and you can just right-click on them to select the properly spelled term.

    Other weird thing going on and not sure if anyone else is getting it - I click post reply and a message tells me I have to wait 30 seconds to post a new message. When I navigate away my post is there, but it's still very odd.

    Also, cursor is randomly going right back to the start of a message when editing posts. Not a huge deal just another little glitchy nit picky thing.
