I guess this is a test. I just logged in and typed a long plea for help. When I got done the system trashed my message and told me I had to log in.

I guess I'll do something now, but I have no idea what.

Just a word of advice... when typing in a long post, every now and then select the entire contents (CTRL-A usually works) and then copy (CTRL-C) the text into Windows clipboard. If for some reason the forum kicks you off or the browser hangs, then you can easily paste the message back into another posting window. The paranoid in me also occasionally pastes the text into a Notepad window and then saves the file on disk in case Windows totally hangs.

Thanks. Of course I never have the problem unless I forget to do that. <g>
