yeah ive had that problem for ages. Its a combination of things. One reason that im pretty sure it is, is because Graeme has a limit on how many words we can use. I had the same problem on the endurobiketalk forum but Mick increased the word count. until then, if you have IE8 go to the 'reply button' and click it as if you were going to make a post, then click the green arrow refresh button, then click that white broken page button next to the green arrows. That is the IE8 compatibility button because this forum and many websites are not capable of running on IE8 as they are designed for IE7. Its a pain in the arse, but i have found once you do that then you can continue typing longer posts and it doesnt stop you at a certain point.
