"Text gets eaten"?

Eh, what's that? A new feature from Poly The poor text.
I see the headlines in front of me:
Poor text got eaten by bad,bad Poly mods. MarkG and his gang blamed. Who will be the next?

Text gets eaten all the time. Text is a good source of protein and carbohydrates. Some text, however, could have a high percentage of cholesterol, so you must be careful.

Faded Glory:

Sometimes what you post will get eaten by the server.

If you have a particularly long post, copy to your clipboard before posting. That does the trick for me.

I have never seen half a post get eaten though..........I think Obiwan was referring to whole posts, which does happen sometimes.

I've also never seen half-a-post being lost by the server. The clipboard trick is a must. I use it everytime I write a long post

Indeed. Did only part of your message get eaten? That's a new one for me.
