Hm, this happens a lot to me. :)
Maybe we could post long posts on pastebin.com
And then just embed URL to the post

--- Code: ---[url]http://pastebin.com/mb5brvL8[/url]
--- End code ---
There is also pastebinit application that sends the output of a command to pastebin.com
and returns URL

--- Code: ---sudo apt-get install pastebinit
--- End code ---
for example

--- Code: ---lspci | pastebinit -b pastebin.com
--- End code ---
I've used -b pastebin.com because it defaults to paste.ubuntu.com when used like this

--- Code: ---lspci | pastebinit
--- End code ---
This is distro specific. Default is pasebin.com
This command displays the list of all supported pastebins:

--- Code: ---pastebinit -l
--- End code ---
There is also an option to send file contents to pastebin

--- Code: ---pastebinit -b pastebin.com -i /path/to/the/file
--- End code ---
The only "thing" is that pastes may expire after some time. For example pastes in pastebin.com expire after 30 days.
I'm not sure about how much time do they keep it on paste.ubuntu.com

Hi Jerry,

Yes, I have a text file always open "quicknote.txt" where I keep a "just in case" copy :)

Thanks...

Yes. For people who are posting lengthy posts or posts with a lot of links in them, I would recommend you copy and paste your thread to a text file before posting your thread.

Hi Jerry,

I used a workaround to post a message in Software. "Auto Login Issue"
Next time it happens will do... Is it pastebin.??

Jerry:
Post your thread to a paste site and I'll take a look.
