Re: Posting Problems.

Martin,

Cut and pasting should be fairly easy to accomplish.

On a Windows system:

- type your text
- select all with [CTRL] + [A]
- copy text with [CTRL] + [C]
- open thread
- click on reply
- select text field
- paste with [CTRL] + [V]
- click on submit reply

As for the continuing after losing your connection, that's a different matter. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, but that is a browser issue, not the forum code.

However... you can use the same copying technique to make "temporary backups" as you type. If I make a long post I use this method myself.

At certain stages while typing, simply:
[CTRL]+[A]
[CTRL]+[C]

If you have a problem, you simply [CTRL]+[V] and you have the text at the last back-up moment.

(On an Apple it is pretty much the same: [APPLE]+...
