I also like to write over a long period of time to make sure I say what I really want to say. I actually do copy things to other apps a lot myself. More so because of my own habit of closing windows accidentally and not because I expect the site to time out.

I've been in the business long enough to know that even with commercial software, you often have annoyances like that. A lot of my favorite software has annoyances like that which bother the heck out of some people. However, you have to weigh the good with the bad. So far, what I have seen I, but running into things like that at the start can be, well, annoying.

I just finished writing a fairly long reply. I clicked on submit and got the message I was not authorized to reply. If I was not authorized to reply (although logged in) why did I even get to the pages to write a reply? Maybe I timed out, which I couldn't tell. However, why was my post trashed, never to be found again?

Not a good start....

I am currently running a system with a security enhanced version of PHPNuke. Aside from the fact that the "owner" of PHPNuke basically decides everything for himself, I am looking for reasons why I should switch to another portal system. A co-worker has setup a number of systems using XOOPS and suggested I look into it. Since he has never used any other system, he is not very much in a position to say why I should use one over the other. So, I am turning to this forum looking for information about just why I should switch.

Any input is greatly appreciated.
