I don't seem to have that problem anymore. I just hit the "BACK" button and its all still there.Scott Mayers wrote:Damn! I just made a carefully long post which ended up being lost again! There's got to be a way to recover this because our computer memory holds this even if we get disconnected while we are continuing to write. Yet, I don't know if the 'disconnect' erases that memory completely or if its maintained somewhere in our computer memory. Anyways, I'll have to try again. But I'll have to take a break.
Note that I tried the 'preview' assuming that this should automatically save AND connect, but it doesn't work. Some have suggested this particular advise already and why I presumed it should work. I should have saved it through copying first! I hope this helps others who might have this same problem. I'm guessing that we have to be connected to have the work 'saved' through the site or it is discarded regardless by the browsers. A fix should be made to require the local computer to save this in buffer and accessible later with a warning prompt!
I'm not sure why, the change. Maybe it depends on the Browser. I'm using Opera on a MAC.
One thing you can do is before you hit send, copy your text into "Notepad" or similar. Just highlighting and Cntr-C also works to keep what you write in the buffer.
