Ah, this is just a 'cookie timeout' that occurs on some forums at various intervals. My solution to this has to get in the habit of copying my post to the clipboard (ctrl-c) so that in the even the post doesn't post, I can paste it into notepad and then try again without losing anything. Nothing, and I mean nearly nothing is as frustrating as a nicely worded post for it to just be lost along with the energy that went into writing that post.

Also cookie timeout, so won't save since login cookie isn't valid anymore.
