This can happen on any site. Many years ago I trained myself to always select all and copy (a quick ctrl+L and then ctrl+C) before I submit anything. I think it was MySpace that originally trained me so well. Ah, the days of myspace actually being fun. Fond memories.

But yeah, if you preview things on the boards it never hurts to just highlight and copy all your text before clicking, JUST in case there's an unexpected error.

I am being told by the "monkeys" that this was just some temporary hiccup involving the database and they are still working on making sure it's out of the system... so there's still some chance for bugs for a little while longer I guess.
