Problem replying to posts

Is anyone else having this problem? When I hit reply on a post, about 75% of the time, I'm taken to the main Virgin Islands Travel Forum page and have to start all over again. Most of the time, it's not worth it, which some of you might appreciate.
I'm using google chrome as my browser.
This has been going on for about a month/6 weeks.

Yup...happened to me when I tried to reply to this! If the header part is half green, half blue, it will direct you to the forum index. If it is all green, you can reply normally...wierd! Luckily if you hit refresh a couple of times it will usually fix itself and turn all green so that you can reply.

When you are done replying, before you hit submit, highlight all of your reply, right click with the mouse and copy. That way if you run into this issue again you can just paste the message back rather than have to type it all over again.

Once I get to the screen with the message body, vav, I'm fine. It's getting there that's the problem!
Good morning...fellow early bird

Maybe try clearing out all your cookies in internet options and getting a clean start might help. Also you could download Mozilla Firefox and see if it happens with a different browser?

It is hard for me to pin down the exact issue between OSs, browsers, etc.
I have a feeling it may be a bit of a bug involving session IDs.
I always preach the clean the cookies file for many of these issues, restart your computer, etc. If you don't now how to delete specific cookies - you probably should

(okay - I probably should post this somewhere but I don't have the time at the moment!).
Also - without upsetting any techies out there - I think Chrome is a little flaky - but every browser has some issues.
All of the above being said - for those of you experiencing this issue - if you can, see if it happens if you go to a post after being in your PM box. I just had it happen to me when I tried to reply to this thread! I think the bug is in there somewhere.
I will continue to investigate, but if anyone can pinpoint the events leading up to this behavior, please post them here. Thanks! And thanks Minde for pointing this out -

I had the same issues awhile back also, not today though. Never figured it out.
