I blame Peter Jackson, because....well, just because.

Seriously, could it be connected to the higher than usual number of visitors, coupled with the recent upgrade?

Never got it before, but it happened today. Refreshing the page was enough though.

I'm still seeing the message. Refreshing once or twice does allow you into the site, but it happens again when clicking on a thread, or when going to any other part of the forum. Vexing!

I almost did but thanks to Legate's reminder I had copied the post and so could simply paste it once I got the page back.

I remember back in the day I always copied posts because they would be so long and a pain to rewrite, particularly for rpgs.

Pervinca Took is a guest of Tom Bombadil.
I'm chiming in late on the matter at the beginning of this thread, but I wanted to apologise for the fact that I cannot contribute at the moment, due to a pretty tough financial year.

I think the Downs is the best Tolkien forum on the net.

I hadn't realised that ereaders could do more than scroll text! I really must learn how to use this Kobo I was given.

If you forget to copy the text before sending it and feel like having lost it, you still have one option: many browsers allow you to click a "go to the previous page" - and at least with my Firefox it goes back to where I have been writing aka. I can get the text back from there.

Although with any longer posts like more serious discussions, RPG's, longer Werewolf analysis, or Arda Cup reports I tend to write them with Word and then copy the stuff to the Downs when there is always the original saved on my computer even if the site plays some tricks.

Google Chrome hasn't given me any problems with losing posts here during the "resource limited" occurrences. Just to be safe though the last week or so I've been right-clicking and copying any longer posts. Then all you have to do is paste it.
