The "lost session data" message occurs often when preview is on in the editing page. Even if you turn previewing off, category pages will trigger the error because they try to preview the page on first edit even if previewing is turned off. A pain. The question is, why does previewing cause this error when nothing else does? --Gullion 18:31, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
