I was typing a reply to a post and i didn't realize that Vorchia was moving it while I was typing. then when i tried to post the reply, my reply dissapeared. and it was a #@$@ long reply that i am not going to retype. Is there a way to avoid losing a post like that? It's never happened to me before. Anyone else?

When I type long posts, and I'm worried that it won't submit, or I'll lose it somehow, I type it in Word, and then copy and paste it to the ToP. Not only do you get more security without the unstable internet, but you also get a better spell check!

Thanks for the great idea...can't for the life of me think why I didn't think of it! Much appreciated and here's to no more lost posts! They can take way too long to retype.

I couldn't have said it better myself! Lengthy posts and emails are best typed in Word because the internet can and will eat anything. I'm sorry you posted exactly when the post was moved. >_<

You're very welcome, Butter cup. ^_^ Although if I didn't tell you, I'm pretty sure someone else would have. It really saves you alot of grief when a post dosen't submit for some reason.
