YEP, happened to me too.
There is one other feature/system or perhaps software weakness which you guys need to pay attention when you are making a long important post.
My modem loves to cut off. If you have type anything and ready to SUBMIT REPLY, the moment you press this button, ur entire post goes somewhere ( I don't know where ) and if ur modem gets cut off at that time...........u loose everthing....everything.
I am not good with computers but V Bulletin forum software has this "strong" weakness. Even if u hit the back browser button u can not retreive the data u typed. It will tell you some MISSING PAGE information.
Some other forum software or say an Ezboard ( not a powerful and easy to use one like V Bulletin ), they retain what you typed, I think in our computer memory or something and in any event u do get modem cut off or connection difficulty to the forum, you only failed to SUBMIT but loose no data.
Simply : if say while u are typing some long important post and need to access other threads/post in the forum for info or what to reply, you need to open a new separate window and can't rely on BACK and FORWARD browser button.
I think the forum Boss-es can tell us more.
Hope this help.
BTW, Eric.... keep up the good info u are giving us on the forum...thanks.
CHEERS,
