Note that it is EXTREMELY ANNOYING that when you are logged in, and type a long message, or make along edit to an existing message, the system can say when you submit it "you must be logged in,please try again", and then has deleted all your text when you return to the submission form.
It may be little consolation at the moment, but what I do, especially if I have been logged in for a long time (& worry that the system might somehow log me out before I hit 'Submit') is I often copy all of what I entered before I hit submit. That way if the system does tell me I need to be (freshly) logged in, after logging in again I can paste what I previously entered, after re-requesting to start a message or edit.
It all, unfortunately, tends to reinforce the slight, albeit perhaps somewhat irrational, phobia I have about using computers, in case of such wasted effort, or unforseen problems.
