Hi,
Just wanted to let everyone know, I deleted my Source Forge account after like 20 times of losing my comments. This final time it was a detailed C++ explanation on Scintilla's bug tracker that took a lot of thought and effort to write, which as usual I lost due to forgetting how crappy Source Forge login and bug tracking software is.
I'm sure nobody really cares, but if there's some Geany bug/feature/patch posted there that anyone thinks I should look at, you'll have to forward me the details. I won't ever use SF.net again (actually blocked whole domain in my /etc/hosts), and won't be contributing anything to any project's bug trackers there.
In the meantime, Geany's Github bug tracker is active since a while (though not for Geany-Plugins), so I'll be sure to continue monitoring and contributing to that tracker, and of course the mailing lists.
Cheers, Matthew Brush

Well... some of the things at sf are also starting to annoy me. Moving also g-p to github would be fine with me even I don't like to migrate from one commercial plattform to another hoping the will not suck next year ...
Cheers, Frank

I've not used it much, but last week I experienced this. Submitting a comment when I'm apparently logged-in then made me login again, where I am greeted by the same page without my comment. Hitting back failed to allow me to recover my 'unsubmitted' comment (that sometimes works on other sites). Perhaps there's some kind of login timeout, but either way the situation sucks.

That's exactly it. I think it must be an issue between SourceForge's user/login system and the (somehow independent-ish) Allura software we're (trying) to use for our bug tracker. I asked on #allura freenode channel a few times with no response, and of course to submit a bug report requires to use SourceForge :)

I experienced this as well some months ago, same behaviour: being logged in, writing a comment and after post getting logged out and lost my comment.
Let's switch to Github finally.

We really should do this. SF just ate again a somewhat longer comment I've written. Luckily for me, based on experience I copied the text before posting so I could easily paste the eaten text and repost.
Yeah, I got you SF!
