Almost every time I attempt to exit a post I get this mezz. There's no damage done, as it disappears when you click on Back. However, what are they trying to tell me

It's telling you that something in the body of that page (with the same title) has changed... in this case most likely an additional posting.

Sorry don't understand the question
However, with no intention whatever to offend, as I consider AWAD one of the very best, the continued repetition of this message is annoying, while it isn't entirely clear how one escapes from it except by repeatedly clicking on "Back" til finally it disappears. Other such sites don't use it at all

exit a post What do you mean by this, please? Close the window? Move to another thread? Add a post to a thread? Something else?
EDIT: Or--was this question another test, to see how we'd respond?

what I mean is, does it take you a while from entering the thread, until you post, or exit the thread. if you are in a thread for a long time, sometimes, the cookies can expire, or as someone else suggested, the thread can be changed by someone else.

Dale:
This has happened to me on occasion, now that I think about it. With two little kids, time is not one's own sometimes, and I find myself starting a reply only to be called away to settle a fight, open a door, close a door, or whatever.
Then fifteen or twenty minutes later I return to the 'puter and hit reply, only to receive a response about the page having expired.
I suspect it's a safety thing, since not all people will access a site from home. If I wander away from a terminal at a library, for instance, anyone can sit down and write anything at all, pretending to be me.
Also, I didn't notice when you started hanging out here, though it was fairly recently. We just underwent a sea change, going to new software for the Board. It may be that there are some things that still need tweaking.

>anyone can sit down and write anything at all, pretending to be me.
there was a time when a standard workplace jape when discovering someone had left for a period with their desktop computer "on" was to leave a message beginning "If I were you, and I am..."
(this was eventually barred for the most part by the advent of the password protected screensaver.)
