When making any long posts in any forum or any online service:
regularly copy what is written to the clipboard (highlight all text >
ctrl c or right mouse button
copy), then one can paste (
ctrl v or right mouse
paste) recent content into a new post if a problem occurred.
In extreme cases, if it's more like a novel or half a book, use an external program like notepad or word etc, save regularly, and copy\paste the final content into the post.
