I ought to save a copy of my posts about how to check if a post has 'taken' and how to repost if it hasn't.

Look at the thread after posting.... if it doesn't appear, go 'back'...most browsers retain the text where the attempt was made. Select & copy it... then **reload** the Mudcat forum by clicking on RELOAD at the top menu of the browser..NOT *refresh* on the Mudcat page.
**Reload** puts a new copy of the current forum in your browser cache, whereas 'refresh' only checks for new posts.
Then open the thread and paste the text back in.


The alternative used by some is to always compose in a separate program such as Word or a smaller word processing program.
