    Country and State (again)

    I see numerous posts regarding the country and state getting lost during a submission. I just want to add my voice to the frustration over this particular quirk.

    I sometimes go back to the Enter Info page to edit. Sometimes it is several times before I am satisfied, or have caught all of the typos.

    It is rather frustrating that the city and state, of all of the info on the page, are not always retained, especially if I didn't notice that they had gotten lost, and have to go back yet again.

    I now work the Waymark Posting from bottom to top to avoid the issue.  This seems to work well.

    I tried just waiting to set the Country and State until right before I hit the button, but I kept forgetting....

    Like Occam said, I also usually just set the country and state just prior to saving the waymark.  Without getting too technical, the country and state are saved in a session for the waymark, this session has a timeout period, thus if you take more that time to enter the rest of the information for the waymark after selecting the country and state you lose it.  Also make sure that you click in one of the other fields after selecting the state, as it will not be retained if selected and then click the button.
