That happens to me too sometimes. I try to highlight something, highlight too much, then my quick fingers delete everything. Try this. When that happens again, right click. You should see an 'undo' option. That will restore your text if you accidentally delete your progress yourself.
I also found previewing your post frequently helps. In case you do something silly like navigate away, you can use the 'back' button and it will take you to your last preview. Without the preview, it will just take you to the blank form.
At least the above is all true in Fire Fox. Transferring everything from MS Word or something similar is the fool-proof way but sometimes it's a pain to do that. lol

i find when making an epic post, i make a new wordpad doc. and copy what i write to there and save it, every paragraph or so. just incase it dissapears.
then i can copy and past the whole thing through online spellchecker, then onto ats. and formatt it.
using a wordpad, uses less ram and is quicker.

annoying.
