onbeforeunload kicking in at strange times on the fora
When i submit a post, it gives me the “you might have stuff you didn't save; are you sure you want to leave” message. That shouldn't happen.

scimonsterHave you cleared your cache recently? (There's a link to instructions in my signature.)

It seems fixed for a while, then it comes back.
I wish they'd fix this bug for good!

BoltBaitI think the server as well as your client is caching stuff, and that's what causes it to come up again. It's never happened to me on my development server in any of my browsers.

scimonsterFor the record, (Ctrl|Cmd)+Shift+R (force reload) is not the same thing as clearing your cache.

nXIIII don't want to clear my entire cache. I want to force reload (aka flush the cached media/resources from that page).BoltBaitI think the server as well as your client is caching stuff, and that's what causes it to come up again.

scimonsterForce reload doesn't work too well with dynamic content, so it's always safer to empty your cache entirely. For changes to the forums, though, you're probably right—force reloading should do it.

In Wwhich browser is it appearing in?
EDIT: I can't do it. It's just wrong. That's not where prepositions go.
