Luke, have I mentioned lately that you're awesome? ^_^
As for deleted posts-- I've found that if you're careful with the back button and your refreshes, you don't have to lose posts. Firefox saves my typed text, so when the forum stops working, I just stop touching that tab until it is working again. Once it is, I hit the back button once and my text is still there, which I can then submit. Problem is that if I try to go back and the forum's still broken, I lose what I've written.
