Message and thread content disappears from reply... sometimes

[Kiwi Sapper]

I encounter this too often, not only on this site. SOooooooooo I now prepare my post in another programme, i.e Word and copy and paste as necessary from this site if required then a final copy and paste for the entire message into the entry field of the site. USING

PASTE AS PLAIN TEXT

otherwise undesirable things happen. You can risk it with just copy if you have links embedded into the draft but.......

Either way, with links images etc you run the risk of them not working after a paste and reply, then you run the ever lurking risk of being presented with a blank entry screen after hitting EDIT in an attempt to rectify

This is the worst of sites I have encountered with this last problem and I'm not surprised that many never post anything.......and I get a bit miffed when they complain that not enough posts are being made by members.

So it's a loose , loose situation what ever we do.
