      I think this is because the forum system has a timeout for how long you can stay on one page before it logs you out. I think there is a box you can click when you log in saying "Keep me logged in". Obviously that won't be practical if you use a shared computer. If so I'd advise that before you post you copy your text just in case.

      Here is admin's explanation of it: Have you written a long post, only to loose it when you hit submit?

      Hope that helped, :)

      Best wishes,

      Ben
      The world is in a constant conspiracy against the brave. It's the age-old struggle: the roar of the crowd on the one side, and the voice of your conscience on the other. - Douglas MacArthur

      "'Thou mayest rule over sin,' Lee. That's it. I do not believe all men are destroyed. I can name you a dozen who were not, and they are the ones the world lives by. It is true of battles - only the winners are remembered. Surely most men are destroyed, but there are others who like pillars of fire guide frightened men through the darkness. 'Thou mayest!' What glory! It is true that we are weak and sick and quarrelsome, but if that is all we ever were we would, millenniums ago, have disappeared from the face of the earth. A few remnants of fossilised jawbone, some broken teeth in a strata of limestone, would be the only mark man would have left of his existance in the world. But the choice, Lee, the choice of winning!" - East of Eden by John Steinbeck

      A work-around I use is to write everything in a Word doc (or other), then cut and paste when I'm ready to post.
