Using qreply when using a cellular connection

One problem with dslreports.com I ran into while using a cellular modem (Verizon Wireless Pantech UML290 USB) and I was responding to a comment on the News Feed is I went to reply to a comment using qreply with quotes and the content was lost when the cellular modem dropped it's connection because I was using my laptop on the train and reception can vary greatly.

I tried reloading it but my work was lost by then. My suggestion would be to advise users of DSLReports.com not to use the qreply feature on the DSLReports.com when using an unreliable or cellular internet connection (especially when in a moving vehicle as the connection can fade in and out). Users should use the reply feature instead as they can use the back button and their work is there and can repost it when their connection is regained.

I use dslreports on my tmobile connection on my laptop and that's never happened to me. Not sure what's wrong. A quick fix is to copy what you typed so you had a copy, i guess.
