I believe it. That is exactly what has happened to me several times!

I usually DO copy and paste my long posts to my clipboard, just to make certain that the post doesn't vanish. I have had it hapen too many times with my posts. I thought Agora had repaired that problem, because the "timing out" problem had been brought up to them in the past. I did not think of it when I began using the messaging system, but you are right. The same principle applies.

I have a tendency to answer the phone, pour a cup of coffee, open another window, or check the trading in my portfolio. By the time I do all those things, I re-read my post and begin editing. By the time I am ready to submit the post, an hour may have elapsed. Bingo, I hit submit, and the post vanishes.

Thank you for confirming the experience.
