Post backup trick
When using any web form to post information, it's a good idea to save a copy. Something as simple as network connection problems can cause you to lose an otherwise important submission. To minimise the risk of this happening, click in the main field, Select All, and Copy, before you hit the Submit button. That way you will have a copy of your submission on the clipboard to save as a text file, or paste back in and retry.
Alternatively if you're using Internet Explorer on a Mac, you can hold down the Apple-Command key when you click submit to retain this window in the event of an error.
