If you want to delete the mumbo-jumbo from that post above just hit edit button and delete just that part of the post and leave the rest.

R. Sorry, my bad, I should have been more specific in my last post/reply. I replied previously: "Thanks Bob. When I'm logged in the edit button doesn't show?" I should have specified the edit button didn't show for that post/reply only. Otherwise the edit button shows normally on my posts/replies when I'm signed in.
Maybe my computer was overheating or something as it had been on most of the day. It appears you have a limited amount of time to make a post, not sure how much time that is? But if you exceed that amount of time the site auto signs you out. Then when you finalize your post/reply and go to submit it you can't because you exceeded the time limit and the site requires you to refresh the page and sign back in. Once you sign back in whatever you typed is gone, sometimes the "Restore Auto-Saved Content" works, sometimes it doesn't. It only saves content within whatever the time limit is for your session?
But there is no time limit clock showing when you are typing, so you don't know when the "Auto-Saved Content" will be auto shut off? So you could type say as example 30 lines, but the "Restore Auto-Saved Content" session could have auto shutoff at 20 lines, but you have no clue it does this while you are typing?
Say you got a call half way through your reply/post and 10 minutes later you come back to your post. You likely will have to refresh the page, sign back in and start all over again if you can't Restore your previous content. And that sucks! Or unless you copy what you have already typed, which is what I usually do if I have to leave the computer for awhile OR before posting, because I have no clue of knowing if or when my session has timed out or not?
That's what I did yesterday and what happened with the gibberish in that one post. My session had timed out and I was required to refresh the page and sign back in. But after signing back in I couldn't auto-restore my previous content. So I tried pasting what I had copied of my whole post, but I kept getting a message that said something to the effect You can't post because you have since signed back in-please refresh the page and sign back in? I was like WTF is going on? I tried refreshing the page and signing back in several times, but I kept getting the same message?
Somehow I managed to paste my previous content and it came out all F'ed up in that one post w/the gibberish and some of the content you couldn't read as the ends of the sentences where missing because somehow the font got to big and overlapped the page? WTF?
I was going to explain this yesterday, but as you can see it gets a bit complicated and too long and who wants to read long WTF kind of explanations, lol.
I think the site should have a time session clock ticking so the forum member typing a post/reply can see how much time he/she has left to finish his/her post session. That way you won't wind up with unreadable posts like that one post I posted yesterday with the gibberish in it. And that's why I always copy my posts before I hit the submit button, because you never now when or if your session has timed out or not OR if the auto-restore button will save/restore your prior content for you?
Maybe a Mod could reply to this or tell us how much time we have to complete a session/post/reply?
