:
THree problems to have arrisen in the last few hours.
1) I can't copy or paste messages that I've typed out but haven't posted yet. That was something I valued doing and did a lot at school where the computers are about as reliable as an American president.
2) Much more recently I started writing a port in the quick reply box and then went on to go advanced when i decided I'd be needing some more features. I typed out the post and so on, and it was a long one, and then posted it, but when I did the bulk of the post didn't come out, only what I'd originally written in the quick reply box initially. Obviously I lost the post becuase I can't copy and paste the things.
3) I then tried to edit the post to say that most of it had been deleted and I got a message saying that 'this is a duplicate of another post you've made in the last five minutes, you are now being sent to the thread where this post was made'.
So I've lost half an hours typing, I'm unable to guard against similar events in the future and I'll look like an idiot to anyone who reads that thread. Sorry if I sound angry, but frankly I am.

I've just had similar problems in the W@RF thread, except I could copy and paste. But my problems went like this:
First, I typed a short amount of text, then clicked on preview post to test an emoticon. It told me my post was too short, so then I had to type it all again (as I hadn't bothered to copy what I typed before I clicked the button). Then, I copied what I typed the second time and clicked preview post again. This time, it came up with a preview of the message I typed the
first time! So then I carried on typing my message from there and posted it, but in the thread only the first part (the one that finally showed up in the preview) showed up. And then I edited it and pasted (I
did copy it that time) my whole message into it and it ended up all in bold. I don't know what's going on, but it's annoying...
And, it just did it now when I tried to submit this, it said "The message you have entered is too short. Please lengthen your message to at least 10 characters." What the crap!?!?
EDIT: And it did it again and again, I only managed to get this to post by copying it all to quick reply and posting it from there...
