That happened before the changes too.
The solution is to compose a post using Wordpad, then copy and paste it into the reply box

Click the 'start' button in bottom left corner, and it should be shown on that list - click it and then it shows you a blank page to compose your post on.
When you have finished composing, choose 'edit', then 'select all', then 'copy'.
You can then open the reply box, right click and 'paste'

Make sure when you log in you tick the remember me box. If you haven't done that and it takes more than about 10-15mins to write your post then it may lose it. Pressing back on your browser however, should recover it.

And to anyone who is experiencing slowness, it is possibly because you are using internet explorer. The site has lots more graphics now and IE waits till its downloaded everything before displaying things, firefox however show things while its downloading, thus appearing much faster.

That is good news - I got a Ubuntu disc recently - will give it a go

I got wise to loosing posts a long while ago, I don't use wordpad or anything but what I do is when I have written a long post I always copy it before posting, if it fails you just need to paste it when you ry again

You don't need Ubuntu to run Firefox, it can be run using windows, download it from HERE

Thanks for that. Now I have 2 PCs in working order I will risk a bit of such exploration on the older one
