but my posts had already been posted mate, and i only clicked it the once

then i did what some smart person suggested when things go a bit wrong and copied the text out before opening the link in another window and, hey presto, the writing was there that i'd already written

it seems to have stopped diong it now but it was happening every post this morning so i though it wise to inform da management that there was trouble afoot in case it leads to future problems with more and more peole having the same issues along the line
