Quote - I am nearly in tears...I am trying to upload an image and put a LOT of "live credit links" for products... because I forgot to check mark, I got the screen that said "you need to check this" to upload...and so when I went back, everything I had put in was GONE...

Am I doing it wrong? is there a place to click to go "back" (other than the back arrow on my browser) that will just let me go back and finish checking all the right things?  Every time I make a mistake because of my dyslexia, or trying to find a marchent's name, etc. I loose all the information I put in. At this point, I have been here nearly a half hour.  :(

HTTP is a stateless protocal, unless they are storing that information in a PHP Session or a Cookie, it is not possible to repopulate those fields when you return to the page after you leave it.

So short answer, you are doing nothing wrong, it's working exactly as it's coded.

Of course, you could debate that how it's coded is not ideal, and that it should store and repopulate fields when returning to a page.

Ideally if it throws an error it should allow you to return and re-pass all of the entered values to the form, which would then use them to repopulate the form fields.  I suppose you could say current state is bad error handling.
