A new low for the software. This has happened several times in the last day.

Error 524's are way up also in the last few days.

I've used the "back button" to recover posts.

Always copy the entire post in clipboard before hitting submit but if you are on a work PC or production machine, you probably want to clear that for privacy but really I wouldn't be posting here on any of that anyway. You should be able to paste it back into a new reply if the site goes offline.

The post disappears completely as I am writing it.

Install Lazarus, a browser extension/add-on that saves what you type.

Oh okay, I am having a hard time visualizing how that could happen but I don't doubt it, just more curious into what device you are on to suffer from this (Laptop, phone, desktop, etc). Another solution though along these lines is to write your reply into Microsoft Office or LibreOffice and then copy it over when your done.
