Example:
Ok lets give it another try as Ive been timed out by being logged in for 10min only and when posting this it doesn't save it.
sorry but had a long reply typed but lost it
Can be due to a glitch in the pc, the web browser, the internet connection, the forum program, the server etc
Check your browser's cookies & cache settings, and clean the pc regularly >
http://www.ccleaner.com Forum inactivity timeout is 30 minutes.
Any post that did not 'stick' should still be in your browser cache (unless there is something wrong with the pc or browser settings), just use the browsers navigation buttons and go back to what was written, highlight & copy the text, and paste it into a fresh post.
When making any long posts in any forum or any online service:
regularly copy what is written to the clipboard (highlight all text >
ctrl c or right mouse button
copy), then one can paste (
ctrl v or right mouse
paste) recent content into a new post if a problem occurred.
In extreme cases, if it's more like a novel or half a book, use an external program like notepad or word etc, save regularly, and copy\paste the final content into the post.
I recommend Firefox, for it's great spellchecker (among many other things).
