Losing posts?

   Once in a while this has happened to me. Seem to remember it was common at one point, but that must be 2 years ago or more.

	I've just realised: it might not be the SIZE of the posts you are making, but the TIME it takes to type them. If there is a delay of 30 mins, the forum software will worry about spammers and other internet trickery, and stop you in your tracks. Sadly it doesn't make an effort to save your text for you (though often, pressing 'back' will display it, and you can copy&paste). Could this be the issue? Maybe it's 20 mins not 30, which feels harsh I know...

	Hi GRF, There have been no changes to the forum software recently. Do you mean to say that you write 50 words and everything works correctly? Always?! Then you write 300 words and it errors/dies? You can always test, using this thread, copying some random text from above (or use 'Select All' to grab the lot). I'll watch this thread to see what happens.

	Either it's safari playing up like it does with posts with big pictures showing blank or something has changed with the software, I keep losing long posts, all the more annoying that they are the long ones you can't be asked to repeat, what's going on? I get the 'you don't have permission' yellow screen even though I'm logged in.
