It has happened to a few member and myself when using the forum.  We take a long time to pour our heart and soul into a post, and when we click post, we are taken back to the thread and then our post is not posted.  Even when we click "go back" on the browser the text box is still empty.

Is there anyway to fix this?

does cache time have anything to do with this?

Yep... still waiting for an answer.  Lot of people just get frustrated and not post again fror a while.

That can happen on any Web site, I learned long time ago that if I'm writing something long or complex to write it in Word and then cut and paste.  Otherwise you would always risk loosing your prose.  In the past it was also the only way to do spell checking.
