List of forum faults part 2

twice today I have written a lenghy reply to a post and when I press the reply button it dissapears.

In this situation it looks like the internet connection had dopped so that was the root cause, but is there any way to get back the long reply I made?

I would hope it would check for connectivity before choosing to just dump my message into the ether.

I have had this happen before, more than once. In each case, I guessed correctly that the posts had gone to the moderation queue, but without showing any alert to me to indicate that's what had happened. I advised the community manager accordingly, by email.

Perhaps that's not the same reason in your case, particularly given that more maintenance has just taken place, but I wouldn't personally count on it. You might find that at least one of the original versions also appears in due course. 

This has happened to me so many times that I've started copying what I write so I can quickly paste it afterwards so it isn't lost. Sometimes though if you press CTRL Z it can bring back the text but it doesn't always work for me.
