Whilst I have some empathy it is a good lesson for people to learn. (Not all Forum last as long as Ozbow before they expire.)
I suggest to all that if you are going to do a long post you:
- upload/post some of it and then edit it by adding more, or
- write it in another package and then do a "cut and paste"

I have been caught like that too :surprised: . Now if I am doing a long post I write it in MS Word with markers for where the photos go and then upload it by copy and paste like Grahame suggested. Gives you all the time in the world to massage the text and get it just how you want it.

Cheers.... Rod

When I type out a long post, I always highlight the whole text and copy it. It only takes a few moments and it's easy to retrieve the text if needed. I've been caught heaps of times, particularly on one fishing forum site that only keeps me logged on for a few minutes. I haven't needed to do this on Ozbow though.
There is no use focusing on aiming if you don't execute the shot well enough to hit what your are aiming at.
