1) Type your post, make it as big as you want.
2) Before pressing "Submit", select all your text and then press ctrl+c (or just right click and select "copy").
3) Now press submit
4) If you lost your post, simply post it again with ctrl+v (or right click and select "paste").

You are welcome :)

In Mozilla you can go back 2 pages and your post will be still there waiting to press "submit" (that is if you refer to the cloudflare check when submitting).

I refered to the few people i have seen with posts like "well damn i had a huge post but lost it, anyway my idea was...".

Happened to me too. Now i always ctrl+c before submitting a long post. :)

just going back before the cloudflare thingy works for me. But obviously so does ctrl+c
