Is there any way to recover threads sent to the Discussion Board if you receive an error message?

There is no guarantee that threads can be recovered if you receive an error message. If you receive an error message, click the Back button in your browser right away, and you might be able to see what you posted (there is no 100% guarantee because your browser only keeps pages cached for a temporary time).
