Several times per week I see a post or reply that appears to be missing part of the message. For example, when I look at this [msg=257321]one[/msg] it ends with "So I sent him a proposal and 3 days later received the signed proposal and". It's as if he clicked the submit button mid-thought. Typically when I come back an hour or so later I'll see that the remainder of the post has appeared.

Am I the only one?

You do know, don't you, that after you click "OK-Submit" you have a certain amount of time where you can edit the message. Look at your post a second time after you have posted it, and at the bottom, there is an "edit" link. That disappears after a certain amount of time.

Sorry if I am telling you something you already know.

Edit; I just came back in to my post. Above my typing window it says that I have 59 minutes to edit the post if no reply is posted earlier. So those must be the parameters.

I understand about the edit function, but these are different. It's as if they stopped typing mid-thought and often mid-sentence and clicked the submit button. On the example link I posted in the OP I was able to see the remainder of his post about 30 minutes later.

Firefox on Win7-64 for what it's worth.
