guidelines for posting

Tweet

i think that there should be guidelines/reminders posted right beside the boxes for posts. i tried to post a discussion a few minutes ago but since there was error and everything i typed just disappeared: the message i received was to try to post a discussion containing only texts. but my discussion was only pure text. i was a bit disheartened as it took me thirty minutes to type that discussion and didn't copy it to a notepad or something since that would be useless in my case since i can't copy and paste in this site yet. that discussion was composed of about 5 paragraphs and they were gone in just one second. is there a way that we can recover from a lost post?
