I posted what I thought was a new post and it seems to have just disappeared.

Have you gone into your profile - click on the Profile Info > Show Posts.

If it isn't there then it is likely to have been eaten by a forum bug. This can end up eating the post when you click Post or Preview.

I use a firefox add-on Form History, this saves data input into text fields, that can be recovered.

I have downloaded Form History and it's just awaiting a reboot. Thanks for the link. It will work across many forms and take the anxiety out of the equation. I'll mark this solved.

Thanks again, David

Well apparently you can't mark it solved!

You're welcome.

It is a very handy add-on whilst this forum software bug can eat posts, a real pain when you have spent time compiling your post. Especially if, like me your not a touch typist ;)
