Legolas, a hint here! [img]smile.gif[/img]
When making a long post (more than 1 paragraph), always highlight it CTRL+C to copy it to your clipboard just in case the server "burps" as it is so prone to do lately.
If it's a VERY long post, I'll copy it to Notepad or even Word (if I want to spellcheck). 
Cheers,
-Sazerac[/QUOTE]Heh... I always CTRL+C my posts if they exceed 50 words. I learnt my lesson the hard way, when in another forum, I lost... a 2000+ words post. A lot of things died that day, a lot of inanimate things... ...
Also, if I know the post is going to be extremely long, like 500+ words, I write in Notepad first, then transfer it over by copying and pasting. It is easier to 'debug' the post anyway, when seen in the larger window size of Notepad, especially when HTML is involved.
