If you take too long to compose your message. The message won't apply when you hit the "Post Reply" button. I think it's something like 20-30mins. Before it does that. So if you take a while to compose a message. Copy it to your clipboard. Just to be safe. Then all you have to do is go back to the thread and paste it back into a new reply and try sending it again. It's one of those odd things we have to be aware of here. ScottA
