I checked with our service provider, and the server has had no problems, so it must be related to your internet service provider that you sign on with. I too occassionally get dumped by my service provider AOL. It really pisses me off after spending 20 min. writing a response. Anyway, now I always write my replys in MS Word, since the board has no spelling checker and I'm terrible. When I'm done, I copy and paste it on the board. For short two liners I don't do this, but if you've read my replys they kinda ramble on and on...If you are having troubles you might try this.
