As you have found this "auto save" or whatever it is is a mess, 1/2 the time you post you lose it.

A work around is to type up your post, then copy it to the clipboard (ctrl c), then refreash the page (f5 for a lot of people or the circle arrow in the url box), that will cause the box you typed your post into to clear (and reset or something the autosave), then just copy your post back into the box and immedialty hit submit new thread or submit post before autosave has time to autosave.

These forums are not friendly to IE. I only view them now with Fire Fox because posting with IE crashes the browser. I hate these new forums.

If the forums work fine with all the other browsers on the market (including the previous versions of IE) then the issue is probably not with the forums, but with IE.
hate IE.

I use google chrome and they work fine. Safari however sucks and they crash constantly on my safari browser.

That's really odd because I use Safari about 99% of the time and have yet to experience a crash.

Of course, I am using Safari on a Mac, so YMMV on a PC.

Seconded.

I use Google Chrome on one computer... IE 8 on another... and Safari from my iPhone. I have NEVER experienced a problem.

Perhaps a good virus scan is in order?

There's already a thread complaining about IE and the new forum themes. http://www.dual-boxing.com/threads/46518-New-Forums-Sucks-with-IE9

Keep that stuff there.
