...when you write the original post for some new thread you had a great idea for... you go to post it and because of connection issues the entire post is lost and unrecoverable.
fuck.
fuck.
Don't you just fucking hate it...

I hate it when that happens too NIC. If I encounter a "connection difficulty" I hit the back button and hastily jot down what I wrote so far on paper. That way if the post is lost I can always recreate it later.
Of course this method doesn't work when we have our frequent N.P. power failures.

IF you are writing an essay for a post, and you are worried about that, highlight it all before you post and hit "Cntrl" + "C", then if you lose it, go back to the posting screen, click in the text box and hit "Cntrl" + "V", and bingo, you get it back.
Or consider writing it in notepad first, saving frequently.
But yeah, been there, done that, taken the screaming fit.

Right click and select the text, left click to copy the selected text before you hit the post button. If it gets messed up or lost just left click to paste it back in.

Confession: I'm not much of one for starting threads. (Understatement of the year.)
But occasionally, I have written long posts to paste into a thread.
And when I know I'm going to be spending 10 or 20 minutes on a post (sometimes you guyz is worth it), I always write it in MS Word. (Wordpad would be fine, I spoze.)
So if there's any problem, I don't lose the text.
Nothing narcissistic here, but I'm always thinking of posterity and the larger human good.

yeah those are good ideas, and ones I often employ myself, though then I get lazy and stop taking such precautions and something like this happens. Ironically, in the post I made just prior to this happening, I did the whole cntrl+c thing in case I lost it. Then I skipped that step before hitting "post" when I went to start this thread.... and it really was a great first post. I'll have to wait until I'm feeling creative to write it again.

I often lose posts here as I hit 'send' because of a lost internet connection. I have an old and very slow computer so it's almost a daily occurence and I'm just used to it by now. I've written down only two posts before I've posted them. I have a pretty good memory and I can usually get back online and post almost exactly what was lost.:smile:

Concerning lost messages. If it is one of those days, I go to word perfect in my computer (or Micrsoft Word or Open Office, which ever one you have) and type it there, use spell check, then select copy. Then go to the LPSG site and when find the post you want it to go, then place your curser on that post and select paste. If it works you can then go back and delete the post in word perfect and not clutter up that program.
