I don't think that is offered by phpBB. I know it is frustrating when that happens, especially at or near the end of a long post. It's a clumsy workaround, but the only way to avoid it might be to write the post in a word processor, esp one with an auto-save function, then copy, paste into the forum text editor and format it there.

The Trumper Violet scent is sublime. I have no more cream, but I still have some old tallow soap. Good stuff!

Hi Clive and Chris -

Another workaround would be to copy the text in a post, periodically, while composing it.

Then, if the post gets dumped, you can start over and just paste what you saved into the new post.
