Rejected Posts

Why do I get "This message has already been posted" rejections?  It's happened twice tonight.  I spent 10 minutes typing a meaningful reply only to have it vaporized.

It's a bug in the forum software.

my I suggest that if you are spending ten minutes or more composing a solid thoughtful reply that it'd be worth setting it up in a word processor then a quick cut and past to the forum? at least untill the bug goes away

I had the same problem too, I just hit the back button and my post was still typed out in the cache and I copied it to the clipboard, opened a new tab, and pasted it back in.
