The page simply refreshes and displays as it was before. My edits are lost. Nor are they any error messages or warnings about what I might be doing wrong. I have tested this repeatedly, answering the CAPTCHA each time, Previewing first or not, with different browsers and new browser sessions. But nothing works. In fact, as I repeat the tests, I've stopped getting the CAPTCHA at all! I am really stumped. I browsed the EamcsWikiProblems page and this particular issue isn't mentioned, although there do seem to issues with cookies and such that are causing other odd behavior with failed saves. See the commentary on that page by Drew Adams. I am probably overlooking something quite basic. Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks, Tom Davey PS Selecting "Preview" also doesn't render the page, but rather just shows the editing screen again. Perhaps that's a clue. -- Tom Davey tom@tomdavey.com New York NY USA
