This forum has behaved strange for quite some time. It's time Keil fix it. It's rude with a forum that throws away user posts!
Thanks Jon - at least it's good to know that things are in hand...
The Keil web site is hosted on a very fast internet connection in a clustered and load balanced configuration with multiple servers all able to serve content from the site. As such, it is complicated.
We started experiencing a strange problem with one of the servers a few days ago that exhibits itself as a slowdown in packet delivery. Locating the problem has been difficult but we have finally narrowed it down to a compatibility issue.
The problems you are experiencing with the forum must be a side-effect of this. We are working to correct this problem but, as yet, we still have a few remaining issues.

"...I can't post a reply. I may press the Preview button any number of times but still just get a new page without the Post button."
Yes, I've seen that too.
I'd only seen it recently along with losing the text of posts, so I'd assumed that they were related...
A separate issue I have had for quite a number of times now (besides the empty posts) is that I can't post a reply. I may press the Preview button any number of times but still just get a new page without the Post button.
It isn't enough to go back to the thread and then press Reply again. The only way I have managed to post is to go all the way to the forum list, once more select the thread and then press Reply.
I have 5 or 10 files where I have saved different posts while trying to get the forum to accept the text, and it is very anoying. This just in a couple of days time.
It's still happening:

I've reported it via the Feedback form, which says,
"Thanks for telling us what you think. It's important to us to know your feelings about our web site and development tools. That knowledge helps us provide you with better products and better service."
Oh yeah...
