Silly old fool pressed wrong button

Re: Goodbye, one deleted post to many

I lost a post just this morning, I didn't realise and I click on the return to the board index button all the time.

If you do that your post is still there if you click on the back arrow button. While you are writing a post you can go to look at something then come back to it.

Hiya, I personally would like it to save any drafts that I could post out later? like if am busy or have to go out of the room briefly. Having said this daisy I lost the last draft n had to do it all over again! Anna.x

Re: Goodbye, one deleted post to many

Are you really sure it wasn't still there if you pressed the back arrow several times? Was it your very long post?

Don't worry. I often find that if I write something a second time it comes out better

Re: Goodbye, one deleted post to many

Would it be possible just to tell everyone what the "Save" option is for and how to use it. I think it's very useful if you are writing a long post and need to interrupt it in the middle to do something else, or to be sure you don't lose it if you're afraid there will be a power cut!! Or other computer problems which crop up regularly I also use it a lot when I write a post and then save it for later to think about it before I press submit.

If I am writing a long or complicated post I write it in Notepad, well actually in Metapad which is an excellent alternative to Notepad, but I write the post out then just copy and paste into the forum reply box and then correct all the spelling mistakes that I make (dyslexic) and Roberts your fathers brother

Me too! Always wise to type it out elsewhere and then cut/copy and paste - makes for less angst :!:

Hi, will do that next time I write a long post, write it out then copy to forum post reply page. Thanks for the idea, n a great one too , saves the hassle of memory loss too. Anna.x
