I've found that sometimes after I'm all done writing a posting, my browser unexpectedly closes, losing all my work. By composing my message in a word processor and copying/pasting it over to the forum, I don't lose my posting.
Don't you just hate having to rewrite a posting? It never seems to come out the same the second time it's written.
Hope this helps someone ...

sorry about that Patricia, if that problem keeps occurring, could you send me an email (vincent -at- lefora.com with info about what webbrowser you're running and a copy of the text that crashed your browser? Also let me know if you were posting a new topic or replying to one.
Patricia,
I too have learned the hard way. Running bathwater, finding pajamas, getting a drink, etc, have all interfered with my posting and before I knew it, the screen froze or something. I now try to copy and paste too. Why is it that our first brilliant bursts of intelligence can't be reproduced when we have to redo our work? LOL ![]()
Vincent,
I have a question of a different type. I wanted to keep track of my posts and clicked permalink (ok I had no idea what it actually did but I was willing to try it out) and now I wonder if my replies will ever be linked to the initial post. It looks like they are just linked together and not linked to the other person's initial post I was trying to respond to or if they will just be linked for me to see. I want to use this type of forum in class so I kind of want to know how to help the kids when they experience similar problems. I
this forum setup and plan to use it in all of my classes next year. *(part of their participation grade will be to post at least one topic and then to respond to at least 3 others)
