Cliffnemo. A quick way not to lose long posts.
Type the whole thing out on Word before you open your pprune.
Shrink it to the toolbar.
Open up pprune and go to the post reply page.
Open up your post in Word.
Left button held down highlight the whole lot, then press Control and C.
Return to your reply and press Control and V.
The whole lot will appear.
Even if pprune collapses on you will still have it in Word. Its a good idea to shrink both pages so that you are back to your desktop and re-engage Internet Explorer. This will give you a second browser for you to work with photobucket.
