I'm also unable to start new threads... as soon as I press 'submit' or 'preview' I just get the error page saying 'website cannot display the page' then if I try to refresh I just get a completely blank page.

Sent an email to the help page and just got an automated reply with a load FAQ's which were no help at all.

Actually it doesn't.

Firstly, if you click the back arrow, in the bar at the top of the browser, it should go back to the posting window, where you should find your post intact.

Secondly, before clicking "Submit Reply" do Ctrl-A, then Ctrl-C.

If you lose the post, open a new message window, and do Ctrl-V.

The post will magically reappear.

Hi all,

Things should be working a little better now. Apologies for the inconvenience.
