I remember back in the day I always copied posts because they would be so long and a pain to rewrite, particularly for rpgs.

I'm chiming in late on the matter at the beginning of this thread, but I wanted to apologise for the fact that I cannot contribute at the moment, due to a pretty tough financial year.

I think the Downs is the best Tolkien forum on the net.

I don't know if its related, but, there has been an increase in both auto-bot & human-bot invasion & posts on a number of sites I frequent of late. The hits can be enormous. Most dont get far, but they can us up a fair amount of bandwidth.

I hadn't realised that ereaders could do more than scroll text! I really must learn how to use this Kobo I was given.

Depends. My old style kindle keyboard 3g has a basic browser limited but useful at times.

If the Downs reaches its resource limit when I'm posting, it usually still posts if I refresh the page enough times (good suggestion, the page refreshing! Thank you all for the idea!)

Is it just me, or is it better now? Did The Barrow-Wight wave his magical deathstick and make the problems go away?

You're reading my mind, sally. I was about to post that I'm not noticing any glitches anymore, but you beat me to it.

Horray!!!

For the past few days, I haven't seen the 200+ number of forum visitors either. Connection?

If you forget to copy the text before sending it and feel like having lost it, you still have one option: many browsers allow you to click a "go to the previous page" - and at least with my Firefox it goes back to where I have been writing aka. I can get the text back from there.

Although with any longer posts like more serious discussions, RPG's, longer Werewolf analysis, or Arda Cup reports I tend to write them with Word and then copy the stuff to the Downs when there is always the original saved on my computer even if the site plays some tricks.

Google Chrome hasn't given me any problems with losing posts here during the "resource limited" occurrences. Just to be safe though the last week or so I've been right-clicking and copying any longer posts. Then all you have to do is paste it.
