Why is it that when I use preview and then want to change something and hit the back button the message now disappears from the box. I then have to copy and paste it from the preview and then re-insert all the formatting. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH

I have that same problem. Now, to save time, I automatically copy before I go back. But of course you lose all the brackets for colours etc; in fact, when I remember, I type the message in Word first then I have all the details ready to copy! But it is a pain. I think it must time out somehow because it doesn't happen if you're quick enough. Murphy's law dictates that the longer and more complicated the message the more likely you are to lose it.

It's only been the past few days. Before that it was fine, no problem.

I would say that I have been experiencing it for a number of months. I can't look back to a time when I remember that it positively didn't happen. If you follow that.
Perhaps when the others clock in we'll get more information. It would really remove a frustration if someone can provide a solution to it.

It depends on the brwoser. Older versions of Netscape always gave me that problem but IE didn't. Now that I use new and improved Win2K, my browser is Netscape 7.02 which has been perfectly behaved (so far).

This machine is on a network that uses Internet Explorer 5.5 SP1.

Then it could be a cookies or cache issue. This forum makes use of both and maybe yours aren't configured.
Jest a guess, mind.

It has only happened to me since Anu switched the board to a new server; and it doesn't happen all the time. (There were some complaints about it at the time, too.) I never thought about time being a factor, dxb--thanks, I'll try to monitor that. I too have learned to copy first (MOST of the time), if I'm going to Preview. Even if I want to change something, I still have my codes and brackets.
