Warning: Noobie question ahead.

After 33 months and one 50 I've decided that is time to run my first task force.
Since I really don't know many people in the game nor have the time to do an entire tf in one seat with a pug, I've decided to go solo.
I read that Posi is a good solo tf since it doesn't have an AV at the end, so I went for it. However, I'm having technical difficulties. Here is what I'm doing:

1) Went to Steel Canyon
2) Ask two nice random heroes to join my team to start my tf
3) Once I have the team I talked to Posi and get the first mission
4) Then I travel to the mission and get inside.
5) I thank the nice people that helped me and let them know I'm ok.

Here is where things go wrong. As soon as the last person leaves the team, I get kicked out of the TF.

What am I doing wrong?

P.S:
Many thanks in advance.

I've been looking at new PCs to replace the 5+ years old systems my wife and I have, and would like to get some advice and opinions as far as the hardware for playing CoX. I'm looking for a solid mid-range system (about $500-700 since I'll be getting 2, plus video cards, etc) that I can upgrade as I need.

I've nearly decided on this HP P6210Y from Best Buy, but it's been a while since I've seriously shopped for components and I've fallen behind.

Also, what would be a good video card under $200 (again, would need 2)? I'd like it to have a TV Out connection, but that's not a deal-breaker.

Any thoughts and recommendations are welcome.

If you ever had (or would like to make) a toon in the Masked Rider SG on Virtue, I am trying to bring it back from the dead. To that extent,I made a post in our community about a GTG tomorrow. I thought I would hit more people if I posted it here :-D

We now return you to your regularly schedule community....

Has anyone encountered a "blank black screen of death" recently? While playing (in full screen mode) everything will suddenly go black. I can't even ctrl-alt-del my way out... I have to do a cold restart. It seems to be especially common in general trick-or-treating or in a zone where an event spawns.

I have changed no settings in CoH/V (it happens redside too). Nor have I changed any hardware or software configurations or drivers.

Pisses me off since I finally have some good play time, and I also avoid teaming 'cause I don't want to "disappear" and leave people in a lurch.

I have subjected myself to ridicule by posting on the official boards in the Hero Con area.

Here is my thread on tips for saving up for Hero Con, so that I may see more of you there next year.

( For those who can't see the OB, full text inside and it's a bit long )

I welcome discussion and tips from others, so that all may benefit. I'm sure to get some amount of flack or dissension, but it's to be expected.

Bill Willingham said: "Today: a visit to studios where City of Heroes, one of those big online games, is created. Then 12 hours in the bar. Full, fulfilling day."

Bill Willingham, for the uninitiated, is a brilliant comic book writer and artist (though mainly writer these days, though he did draw Nightcrawler's feet for me at a convention... long story), and creator of Fables, one of my favorite Vertigo series. Though he has done some superhero stuff as well. So, I wonder if this means anything?

The people in my neighborhood go batty (pun intended) over Halloween. I spotted these decorations just around the corner from my house:
