This can be a symptom of not providing an author name when it is required. <br><br>On your personal install you may have provided this in the past; the name is preserved in a cookie and repopulated when necessary. On your virgin install it isn't. No error message is given.... (or at least, it wasn't last time I tried, a few versions ago).<br>

<dd>When set
to '1', posting of pages requires the author to provide an author name.
Otherwise, authors can post without a name.

BUT, when I make an edit to a page and click "Save", the new text that I have added dissappears and no change is saved. The change is not even preserved in the textarea. Clicking "Save" seems to remove any text that I add to the page.<br>
