HC, the problem with copy/pasting large amounts of text is two-fold.
firstly, the text can exceed the post limit, and be cut off.
secondly, it just takes up too much space, and we end up having to scroll through endless amounts of text between posts.
to avoid this, when you are in preview mode before posting, you should use the insert code option, just above and to the right of the last crying smiley, the symbol is #
when you use it, you should then get what appears below in preview mode:
then, you just paste your text inbetween the two middle ][ brackets.
as an example, i will copy this line of text in, and this is what it will look like:

edit: i had some difficulty doing it in your post, and it's probably why you couldn't get it to work, either -probably because the first part of the post started with a [ symbol, thereby messing up the code option, so i just removed that, as it wasn't necessary.
or, it was because you first entered all the text, then added the insert code option after, and i think you reached the max allowed characters at the same time - therefore it's best to use the insert code option first, and then paste your text into it.
just a bit of bad luck for your first try, but i'm sure you'll get the hang of it.
