This is why I write everything in Word.

Seconded. 

I almost never write out IC posts on the Guild interface itself. Because as you pointed out, it doesn't save, it isn't reliable, and this forum has issues. It's still young and it's probably gonna be a while till it has a post autosave feature. Even the old one didn't have one until close to the end of its lifetime - the best solution is to use something that CAN save, like Word, and then copy/paste your posts.
