I get the same thing in Firefox. Used to spend ages coding in the pics. Might have to do with the browser you're using.

In the interim Peter, if you want to email me the pics I can post them, you can then reply with quote and edit to be your own post by deleting the quote tags I can then delete my original post with the pics?

Hello Phil,

I am pretty sure it is Internet Explorer 8 doing this.
The entire screen would go white except for the top toolbars, and lose the text and piccies.

I have a few minutes ago successfully uploaded the text and piccies.

What I did was to create the entire file in Word, copy and paste into the message, upload each image, all while being watched by the Mrs who was weilding a very large baseball bat. If it was to fail once more the pc would be sent flying over Parramatta Park in the dark of the night....

W7 and IE8 here with no dramas............
