Save Your Work!

I just typed this out and gave an in-depth explanation of my reasoning, but I got a server error upon pressing the post button.

It's best to copy long posts to a text file, before submitting. There are too many issues with operating systems, network connectivity, and server software to guarantee any particular submission will be successful.

Sometimes, if you back up, there will be a restore option for lost text. Look for it near the lower-left corner of the post-composition window.

Do you remember what the error message said?

Nope, just a server error if I recall correctly. Regardless, your advice has been duly noted for next time. Thanks.
