don't think I'll be using the site to post anymore until the DoS is stopped - I'm losing 1 out of 5 attempts and as I type this I have no clue whether it'll get lost or not.
It took me a few years of losing posts (accidental 'Back' button pushes or page refreshes or whatever), before I started typing up every single reply into Notepad and then pasting them into the text box for submission.
I recommend everyone do this, regardless. Its nice to have another copy of your proposal laying around that you can't easily lose.
And with the 'Peek Mode' button, you can easily paste formatted text into the Notepad right from the message you are replying to.
