Gypsey,
Were you replying to an existing thread or starting a new topic?
If you were starting a new topic and did not include a subject name you would receive the following error message.
Error Message: "You must specify a subject when posting a new topic."
This error message would be displayed after the page refreshed; the contents of your post would still be intact, but requiring a subject name to complete the process.
However, it sounds to me like you have lost the contents of your message when the screen refreshed. Is this the case?

I was starting a new topic.
I didn't notice an error message, so it appears that I have lost the contents of the message.
I thought that it might be hiding in the system somewhere.
So do I just start again.
Regards |

Gypsey,
The post may have been retrievable immediately after the problem occurred via >back button>refresh; but not now

Yes.
If you are writing a long and complicated post, it is advisable to highlight and 'select' all the content and 'copy' to clipboard; that way if a problem occurs you can usually use 'paste' to replace the content.
