I did switch to the "html" like you suggested.  I didn't have any problems...

So, assuming you're still using Internet Exploder, posts do not save when using the TinyMCE editor, but save consistently using the HTML editor, as yucky as it may seem. Thanks for the info! Have you tried any other editors?

Keeping it short and to the point does tend to not vanish...
