What is the deal here...seems like I get timed out super fast & cannot finish posting & loose all data??????????????[:@]

Copy your post before clicking OK.

I've fought this for a few years and never got anywhere with admin.

There's some problem with the software in the server. You have about 10 seconds to make the post. But if you mess around editing your post for 10 min it seems like it will go right on through most of the time.

Some people make up their post in another editor first and then just copy an past it into RCU. But if you use Microsoft Word, the formatting will drive the WYSIWYG editor nuts. Just use a plain editor like note pad.

Thanks...sent you a PM..............

As w8ye noted, it's been a problem for years and the powers that be don't seem to feel it's worth changing. I've lost a lot of very informative and instructional posts with diagrams and photograps over the years. Once they take a hike I don't bother with attempts to reproduce. I suppose you could write in a Word document and do a copy and past but you might as well spend the time at other forums where you can write at will instead.

another way to do it is to use control c and control v. When you have it written highlight it and hold down control while pushing c - this copies it to your notepad. then if it doesn't post correctly you can put it on another blank message by using control v in a few seconds and post the message.
