Not to sound like an asshole, but did you try hitting "back" on your browser?

I've had that happen. Now, when ever I type anything of length, i use cut and paste to be safe. "I hit CTRL C" to save it in case of a wipeout.

Use Firefox, and get the free ad-on "Lazarus." It stores everything you type. With a few clicks, your hard work will magically reappear!

It saves me a lot of time, effort, and frustration!

I've also had the forum time me out while writing a long post. It's a terrible feature.
