My post didnt post (some kind of timeout?)
Hi
I just spent an hour typing next instalment of trip report and when I went to post it seemed I had logged out - asked for my password but coming back in my post was gone.
Is there anything that can be done to recover it or do I need to type again (and in future remember to save it to word or something as backup)?
[edit]
I have managed to recover the post content using back button on my browser. Please ignore, unless you have a way to stop this happening again.

Kiwi Flyer, when you are making a long post, you might consider doing so in Word where you can save the document as you go. Then you copy and paste into FT. There is little more frustrating than losing all those inspired words. 
Voice of painful experience here, btw.
