Lost my new topic
« on: September 18, 2017, 01:47:56 PM »
I spent quite a bit of time posting a new topic and when I was done I added 3 pic attachments and clicked "post".  It sat there for quite awhile and then I ended up looking at a new, blank "new topic" screen. 

Is there any way for you to find my post? I'd hate to have to write that all over again.

I left that window open and opened a new tab to post this question. Thanks.

Only thing I can think of is hit the Back tab and see if it is still there in your cache. Otherwise there's nothing o do but rewrite it. If you have a long and detailed post, I would suggest opening Word, copy and paste it as you go along. That way you have a rescue copy.

I found my problem.  I thought I was uploading my resized photos but I was uploading my original photos, which were about 3.5 megs each.  All good now! Sorry for the bother.

I have lost posts and/or topic intros on several occasions, over the past few months.
I have learned to always copy and paste to a text document, just in case.
Of course, when I DO copy and paste "just in case", the loss never happens. :D

Yeah, I always tell my wife to do that when I notice she's been working on a long email for quite awhile.  I just forgot to do it myself...........  The computers seem to know when you are at risk and then they slap you down.

Lol. Funny!
I notice myself that whenever I deliberately copy and save, I never lose the original post,  but the odds of my post disappearing, go up exponentially when I don't! :D
