I usually do two things when composing a long post: press Control-A (Windows, not sure what the equivalent in OSX is) and then Control-C. This selects all and copies it into memory. Then I do a Preview Post. The preview is a "second copy". If it gets very long I paste the text into Notepad or Word before hitting Preview Post.
vBulletin works great most of the time, but it's easy to press a wrong button (like backspace...) and lose your complete post. Hence me taking precautions.
Of course, completely forgetting to hit "Submit Reply" and then go to sleep and turn off computer will not help at all LOL.
Ahem.
