I have been having trouble posting articles. One was from Yahoo and the other was from Worldnetdaily.com.

It's no big deal; it just rattles my patience button when I do all the HTML and then I get a message that my connection with the server had been terminated.

This seems strange since I can still post replies both on the thread and private---so I must be connected to the server.

Any insight into what I may not be doing?

Each time you request a web page, your web browser makes a conection to the web server. It's a brief connection, open long enough for your browser to ask for a web page and the server to return it. It then closes.

For some reason, the server appears to be dropping that connection too earlier. I'm not yet sure why.

(I'm not taking into account advanced concepts like keep-alive. This is a simple example.)

I've learned that it is best when doing any posting that will be of any noteworthy length, to use a basic text file to prepare my post, and then copy and paste from it. Or, if it's short, I highlight and copy my reply, before hitting preview or post. This way, if something goes wrong, I don't have to go through it all again, I can just paste and try again.
