I just had an entire post written out, using a URL to back up one of my points. The forum deletes my ENTIRE post because of that one URL? My whole argument is now gone.
This is not ok, and nowhere near user friendly.
At least keep the post on the page, so it would be possible to remove the offending URL and post the rest of what you are attempting to say.
Sounds pretty crummy. Just as you would any digitally written work, remember to save! I personally use the copy function a lot, habitually ensuring I have my post or any large body of text. Especially when editing prior to submitting. For something you're very passionate about (and using a lot of words) writing it up in a notepad is helpful, and even might give you a new perspective when isolating it in another program :)
