EE throwing me to the homepage

THIS IS URGENT! I NEED HELP!

My issue is that every time I try to make a change on one of my pages, the Submit button or the Update button will throw me back to the homepage, as if the session I was in expired. I really need help with this because the issue is happening very often and it is very frustrating to have to do the changes again and see if it “goes through”. Is there any way anyone would check out my account and see if I have any settings wrong on the sessions or cookies? I am not sure why it throws me back to the homepage without doing the changes when it should allow me to update my pages, I often have to press the back button and go back and press the Update button and see if it goes through. WHY?

I would appreciate any help that EE can assist me with.

What version and build of EE are you using? Any extensions? Can you try to change your method of authentication to “cookies only” for both your site and the control panel?

Yes, actually. I was testing under a previewdns from my hosting provider, that was causing me to get kicked out and sessions ending prematurely, as soon as I took the site live, the problem was fixed.

It was not an EE issue, it was a web server issue. Thank You!
