Thanks for the tip, Diz!! For some reason, I never tried the preview post function. Duh! This might save me a lot of cutting and pasting. What happens, however, if you space out for awhile, not realizing how long you have been daydreaming(about scrumptious BGs), then you hit "preview post" and find that you have already been timed out? Can you then hit the back button, get back to your reply, and do a cut to paste when you log back in?
