Pro tip: if you're finding yourself typing long passages only to lose them for some reason when submitting the text in a forum, try typing into Notepad or some word proeccor software first. From that program you can then copy the text into a browser window and try sending it If it fails, you still have the text locally in your computer to try again. Write once, not bunches of times. It's an extra step but can save you a lot of time.

This or just hit "Ctrl + A" "Ctrl + C" before clicking "Submit".

ETA: If you click "Preview", before "Submit", it almost never drops your post.

I suggest a word processor, including saving the document (which can be recycled indefinitely, stored in a convenient location), because sometimes computers crash, wiping the clipboard.
