Try doing shorter posts.

I have that issue too, sometimes the browser times out.

I usually try to type long posts in Word or some other program. That way, if the browser freaks out, I still have the original text to try to paste again. I can also spell check my text if I feel like it, too.

I don't know whether this guy is serious or just trolling. All you need is a simple text editor, "Notepad" if you're a Microshaft user, or "Gedit" if you use Linix. There are literally hundreds of these little editors.

Anyone remember "Edlin?" No fair Googlin'!!!

Edlin - oh yeah, old days writing .bat files......

Another neat trick: when you get a post composed hit control-a (on everything but Macs; on Macs use command-a) to highlight everything in the textarea and control-c to copy. You have a copy hanging around that you can re-paste in later, paste into a Wordpad document, etc.

Notepad works fine, except there is no spell check. It's handy sometimes.

I didn't really like edlin. Ed, Wordstar, Emacs... There were some others that I have forgotten now. Ack. My mind is slipping.

@bonehead - that is why I am thinking it is a browser time out. Your browser will only wait for so long before logging you out or refreshing the page. It can be adjusted but the change is pretty tech heavy. I like damnimcooltom's suggestion and use notepad, then copy and paste it into your post.
