Interesting. Can you give me more details? The thread and post id if you have it. I have had an odd one going mising but not usually so bad.

I seem to notice when i am writing a post if there is a text that comes up saying another post has been written while im doing it,The post does not register.

If that has happened at the end of a long post highlight it all and right click and go to copy and you can paste again

Had one thread I was writing disappear.

It was a huge post about caching, materials, items, pods, burying, hiding, disguises, and loads of items for GHB style caching, GTBOL (getting to BOL) caches, and loads more.

I'm sad that vanished as it was really good.

I assumed that I had pressed the `review post`,..and then left that thread, instead of `post reply`,... maybe not

Happens occasionaly when im using phone, if it flashes up someone has comnented on this post click on it then finish your post otherwise it disapears, need to get a pc thats why most of my comments are short

OK pay attention, I can tell you one common problem that occurs on here and its not SD's fault.

If you post a reply to someone and you put your text accidentally inside the previous posts posting area/ box/ quotes thingy you post just vanishes when you press POST REPLY, all you see is an empty post with your name attached to it.
BUT if you click on REPLY to the empty post you will actually see all of your post and the one you replied to.

Sooooooo make sure you are not typing INSIDE the quote box of the previous post.

If you have done this chances are the whole thread is derailed and you are better off starting afresh.
