Ahhhh, it just happened to me... You spend a half an hour on the most insightful and intelligent post you have every written in your life, and through some inadvertent keystroke or mouseclick, your dog or cat jumping on the keyboard, etc. etc. your browser leaves the page and your Pulitzer-winning post is gone. poof. 
When you choose the "Preview" tab down at the bottom of the post page (next to "BBCode" tab) you have a LOT of functionality to make a really professional looking post. However, depending on your browser, you should make it a practice when you are embarking on a marathon of bug reporting, or wax philosophic on a critical issue, keep Notepad (or other text editor) open in the background and at periodic intervals, click on the "BBCode" tab, select all and copy and paste it into Notepad. (WORD can do funny things to it...). Then, even if you did fancy formatting, if you accidentally hit "back" or closed the tab, or whatever and you lose your work, simply copy and paste from Notepad back into he post window.
Don't say I didn't warn you!
