Timeout on posts erasing a reply

Wow. I just had a MASSIVE reply to a post DUMPED after I hit submit because -- I'm assuming -- it had been longer than some set time. WTF, fix this crap.

If possible, a preview option for checking your reply proior to hitting the submit buton sure would be nice.

Kevin, I've had similar happen to me on other forums and one way to avoid the disaster is to copy the reply/post before hitting submit. If there's a problem you can paste your original reply to the new re-proting. Not the optimum solution, but a solution nonetheless.

Ah, indeed.

Thanks!

Yep, that's what I'll have to do from now on. Sigh.
