Hi, Now this is probably a cheeky question, but I thought if you don't ask, you don't get. So here goes: At the bottom of the reply box in a thread, the "Post Reply" box is very close to the "Read New Messages" box and the "Top" box and I find that I'm often flung back to the forums list when I didn't want to go there, and I lose my reply - usually when it's a big, long, complex one too! Is there any possibility of having a little GAP between the "Post Reply" box and the "Read New Messages" box and the "Top" box???? Or is that too complex a thing? Fran - frustrated

One thing about posting, I'm not sure if you know. If you spend too much time in idle (in this case writing out a long reply), and even if you click the "Post Reply", it WILL take you to the forums list and you will lose your text. I'm not sure how many minutes it is. 10 minutes? Something like that. I usually select all my text and right click/copy before I hit Post Reply, just in case. AS

I keep forgetting to do that though. Brain the size of a pea. So it's a "you're taking too long" thing, not a "you pressed the wrong button" thing. Pity, I'll never remember. Thanks for the heads-up AS.

You have NO idea how many times I've lost text before I remembered to copy/paste, lol. AS

It's just that there are so many things to remember and with this small brain size it ain't easy - if I just shake my head I'm sure I can hear it rattling around in there....

Same here. I've just had about 4 years here to get it all together, lol. AS

I now copy the text too if i am making anything longer than one sentence. I can never remember the same thing again...so I have to.LOL That's when I remember to copy it too. Don't get old.
