that makes it no less aggravating when I go through the time and trouble to post a very long thought provoking,completly fleshed out with background links and data,hit the "post reply" button then get the dreaded white screen of internet DEATH ! Hitting the "back" button is usually a 60/40 proposition with the 60% going in favor of the post still being there only needing me to re-send the content but it seems to me the longer the thread,the time spent on actually structuring a response more thoughtful than "Oh yeah punko ? well how 'bout you go ##@%%" the more likely it will go bye bye on me The most recent is a post that I spent 20 minutes on ! YES ! TWENTY GD MINUTES OF MY LIFE ! and the fker went Twilight Zone on me ! It is some damn where but where ? Twilight Zone ! ...and yes it pissed me off,no i don't recall half of what i posted it being one of those posts where the content "just happened" faster than thought,one of those deals where the post just evolves moment to moment yet works and no I do not care to ever in my wretched life try and reconstruct the topic having lost all desire in my mind for sharing it with others so i will just go FKN SULK IN THE GD CORNER while others wonder just what the hell i am talking about there being NOTHING in physical evidence to prove i was even there............................ DAMMIT !!!! Rant over but still pissed................................where is that friggin cat i like to kick when shit don't go my way......................... ** .

I feel for you mate. I've been doing that a lot these days and it seems to be one of keys on my keyboard that's doing it....... I'm typing away like a good 'un and all of a sudden... nothing! the bloody thing just disappears. Thing is it's "never" the same the second time you write it as you tend to condense it due to being so bloody annoyed you lost it in the first place! I've written some absolute corkers that have gone in to the twilight zone, and they usually disappear when you're on the last paragraph too ;D
If you're doing a real big one Rick it may be a good idea to open wordpad and copy and paste your post as you go along. That way if your post does go twilight zone side then you just copy it from notepad. A bit extreme, yes, and it detracts from the "straight from the balls" speed post technique but does ensure you won't lose everything.
I have less luck than you on the back / forward buttons. I reckon only 1 in 10 can be found. 60/40 is good going.
