Yes, It Does Have To Do With Long Posts 
Longer posts mean that it's more likely that you're going to use apostrophes. 
RPG 
haha ;)

That kind of logic could get you in trouble. 
Use Mozilla 
Moz just doesn't take me to another page when my post has 's, so I just keeping hunting them down and changing them. 
IE Works Too 
for me at least. 
Nt 
this doesn't work 
Oh! 
yes it does 
Test 
oi, why can YOU post apostrophes. i cant.

fuck that! 
Try Using.. 
the console key next to the number 1 on your keyboard.

can`t | won`t | isn`t | i`m 
Or Do Like This: 
Use this instead, but remove the space: '

Read up a bit to see that trick. 
Err, Right 
Use BACKSLASH then APOSTROPHE with no spaces. 
Escape Your Apostrophe 
Apostrophe: \'
Backslash: \\ 
Ah 
Try a backslash before each apostrophy.

The reason the "messageboard eating posts" thing is such a problem is related to the apostrophy, yes. The killer comes when you push back and the text box is empty... 
Ah, Yes 
Pushplay and company beat me to it while I was fighting the dns error myself. :) 
Why 
...does IE empty out a text box when you leave a page? That's stupid. 
Heh 
Now there's irony for ya

btw, if you phear losing your carefully typed out post to the evile backbutton, try typing it out in notepad first :P 
Or... 
just right click, select all/copy, but for me it's always there when I hit the back button 
Nope 
i never lose the typing. have done in other sites tho (like when typing cvs (resumes) online.

notepad is a sensible thing to do 
Yea 
notepad also allows you to search for all apostrophes and replace them with `

I usually copy the message into the buffer before clicking post. 
Hm.. 
the `eating` is strange...

usually, when i press the back button, the text is still in the textbox, but sometimes, (seemingly at random?) the text is gone -- eaten.

oh well, just gotta remember to use `... 
Ehm 
for how long tho?.. 
Arseburgers 
'''''''' dont work in Opera 
Ha 
or maybe it now does. Well aces. 
Test
