Twice I've tried to post a thread in the Alliance & Corporation Recruitment Center and twice it has just disappeared. I click [POST], the page reload or something, and the text is gone. Is there something wrong or am I just really dumb and missing something?

Edit okay so this posted... what am I doing wrong here-.- do you have to [PREVIEW] for it to work?

Unfortunately, this is a known, persistent and annoying issue. A solution ist to CTRL-A, CTRL-C before posting to simply CTRL-V and post again, when your post gets eaten. A way better solution with quite some nice additional features certainly is

You can also click on that little "draft saved" that pops up to auto refill your post, though it will be missing what you type AFTER the last auto save, so it'll get most or all of what you wrote back. Manual select-all and copy/paste works better as suggested, but the draft saves work well when you forget to save what you wrote yourself.

"Trouble is, those things cost like a million and a half each."
