Good advice, I was already typing a similar reply (proposing notepad however).

Let me add that php scripts are used to program the functionality on this forum. These script depend on environment settings and
variables. When you type long posts or leave you computer e.g. for a phone call or whatever other break you don't refresh pages.
The environment settings can get lost after (in general) 30 minutes. So you are not logged in anymore.

This might explain what happens sometime and why the advice given will solve such a case ....

Doing a preview once in a while could also prevent this problem.
