Can't make a new topic in Cycling

When I click on 'New Topic' I get taken to Rocky's last post in Reg's 'N+1' thread, rather than the empty new topic box.

I think I know what is going on: it's an autosave bug. Did you hit the quote button on Rocky's post at some point? The autosave gets confused and populates the new post page with the previous content. If you can see "Post a new topic", then it's all fine. Just delete the unwanted text and add your own.

I've managed to reproduce what I think is happening. Or at least my sock puppet did.
