Title: Lost a long post again Post by: gambit1 on May 31, 2015, 09:52:04 AM I made a long post again, was about to post it and I hit something on the keyboard and it disappeared. Its not in drafts cause I didn't preview it. Do I really have to cut and paste forum post text every time? What did I hit??

Pisses me off so much in Firefox, seriously why would I want to clear the page I was just interacting with... If you want to write a long post you can do so in notepad ++, it autosaves every 5 seconds or so.

What did I hit?? i will recommend you to try hitting back button as all contents will reappear in it.. one thing you can try to avoid clear of text is always before submitting any post press clrt+a and ctrl+c it will behave as backup of your precious time changing thoughts which you wrote down that time..

I rarely had the problem, but I dont think there is anything the board can do to fix it. If you post a long post my assumption would be that you also reread what you wrote from time to time, use that moment to hit preview and you should be fine.

I am also using notepad ++ to draft my posts. :) And it is so stable and good for drafting even very very long posts. Title: Re: Lost a long post again Post by: jaberwock on May 31, 2015, 06:39:22 PM I lost a long post because I got error 503 when I clicked "Post". And it is not in preview, too :(

There's also quite a few addons you can put in to do specific tasks as well, although couldn't see one for SMF / forums.

That trick works in safari aswell or at least it does for me but lately the forum has been working really slow for me, i go to a section and sometimes it takes 20 seconds to load, no error. When im posting, sometimes it takes 20 seconds again to post, is it just me? |
