Hi Todd,This has happened to me a few times as well.Will have to let Greg fill you in on the specifics as to whether you can retrieve what you wrote.I think it has to do with the idle time that the site dosen't see any activity and log's you off. What I have been doing as a precaution is to save the text I write, BEFORE I preview it, or submit it.Depending on what you are using, (Windows?) I highlight it, or use "select all" (right click)and copy and paste it to Notepad. That way if I have been logged off I can go back to Notepad, pull up the file and paste it back in again. Sometimes I will do this when I am writing something and I feel that maybe I am drifting off topic or I am unsure if I am making any sense, or I am tired. I will save it as "ramblings" or whatever,and then I can come back to it the next day with a fresh perspective.Also, if for instance you are sure of what you wrote and are ready to submit/preview it, you don't even have to "save it" to a file. You can just highlight all the text, right click it, select "copy", and it will be "held". If you find that you have been logged off, log back on, go back to your reply, right click, select "paste" and all your text will be there.Hope that helps.Question,for Greg.How long is the idle time before log off, any idea?_/crsschk\\_
