Aron, is thre anything we can do about this ?
I guess it could be a bit complex, but after a long reply etc, if you're timed out
and have to log back in, the software forgets the whole text and thread that you
were in before.
Only way round it is to copy/log back in/find thread/paste  :D

Thanks,

MM.

best way to prevent this is to copy the text to memory before posting.

I've made a habbit of doing this ->

Long reply => Ctrl+a, Ctrl+c: done. It's in your pc's mem until you load something else into the clipboard.

Also, I think text placed in forms stays local. So wheter it is still there when using the back button depends on your pc /browser. I can scroll back and forth trough my history with Firefox and still have the forms filled with text. (like this post...got an error posting it, ofcourse :P, but the text is still there)

currently the forum is extremely slow to access, or even "not found"

Having the same trouble.  Seems to be a late night thing and then it clears itself up during the day.

Funny, I do the same since long ago... learned the hard way after losing some extense posts!
I also do it on other forums as well, and it has saved me several times.
