I could have thrown a brick at the computer I was so pissed off. If the webmaster gets to see this maybe they could adjust things.
I got into what turned out to be a lengthy and well considered response to those twits who flamed my shopping post. When I submitted the follow up a screen popped up saying that the site was under maintainance and was temp read only. And that was it! No way could I get back to my composition to copy, save then paste and post later. It was gone, evaporated into cyberspace. I felt cheated and abused.
So my tip is to start Notepad (or any WP you choose), compose your message then edit, select all, copy - go back to the forum and paste. That way you have a copy if the link explodes.
