Sorry to hear that. As a Moderator on several forums and ran a few myself - I understand the frustration.
There is normally a limit to length or number of charters in most forum posting software. There is several reason for this - injection attack schemes, html spam, and mostly forums are for discussion, so "story writing" is not its strong suite.
Some Admin Setting for phpBB:
Limit editing time: (max time allowed to POST a message you started)
Maximum characters per post/message: (defaulted to 6000 i think - this board may be different)
If your writing a LONG story/ or book as you said....you will have to break it up into a few post.
Best if you edit it off line as well........Or post it on your own blog and give us a link to it!
I think I know what happened, I walked away and came back to finish up my post. I think I had a "time out" error so back button didn't work. However, I retrieved it through the spell check box that was covered up as I logged out or shut down, I had to fix it then send it because the spell check box didn't have all of what I wrote before. The post is under "How to keep the spark with teenagers" if interested. Thanks for everyone's help and I will remember to hit the stay logged in.
