This is like the fifth time a long, or long-ish post gets wiped out because the board opens a new window for me to type my reply into. I *hate* that! When an error happens and I press "back" (on my mouse no less, as there is no status bar with a reload button to click, grrr), I am always greeted by an empty text box instead of the post I tried to post...

This is absolutely the one biggest flaw with the current board software, so if I am going to complain about anything, I will complain about this. Sorry, but it's not a nice feeling to see a post I spent 15+ minutes writing just go *poof* like that. Sad

I really wish I could type my reply into the main window instead like every other message board I've ever used, so that when an error occurs, I can resort to the reload button... (Of course I can backup the post to the clipboard first, all it takes is a ctrl-a ctrl-c, but I am absent-minded, and this time I forgot.)

Hugs.
