Hi Star. I'm not sure about the math but as far as making a post or thread here I don't think it times out when making it (you only have 5 minutes to edit it) but if that IS the case then can I make a couple of suggestions for anyone (including newbies):

Either copy what you've written so far after a period (and keep copying) OR write it up in word or whatever and just paste it in here when you're happy with what you've written.

Good luck in your endeavors.
