Expired token doesn't preserve quick reply form content

[techtonik]

If a page was standing still for too long (suspend/resume sessions), the quick reply form token expires and when you submit it, the following error is displayed:

Your submission could not be processed because the token has expired.

Please push the back button and reload the previous window.

The problem is that after pressing 'back' button, the content is gone. Normally Chrome preserves content in such situation, but not for this forum. Therefore it must be a forum bug.

Well, then it's a vBulletin bug and you're better off reporting that issue to them. It's unlikely anyone here will fix it.

IIUC vBulletin is commercially supported forum for FreeBSD, so if FreeBSD pays for it, then who if not FreeBSD should report the issue to make it fixed? I am not a customer - who would listen to me anyway.

I don't think tokens are required to survive an entire suspend/resume session, really. So is that a bug? Things expire, like tcp sessions expire. On vB, search results also expire after some time. Those types of expirations are features rather than bugs.

It is not about expiring tokens - it is about losing post contents when token expires.Other systems let browsers preserve contents - http://code.google.com/p/rietveld/issues/detail?id=198 - this contains detailed analysis for the same issue for Rietveld.
