I've gotten to where I'll Ctrl-a in the textarea (select all) and Ctrl-c (copy) write before hitting SEND on lengthy forum posts just in case.
Sometimes when a submission blows out you can back out (back a page) and get your text back. Sometimes it takes a very fast back+Esc to keep the previous page from force-reloading.
Forum software in general (not talking about here) is not conducive to thoughtful writing. That plus the editing time limit makes me more likely to write a blog or wiki post elsewhere and link to it from the forum post.
