Timeout?
Timeout?
I was editing a post... it took me probably over 30mins to edit. Then when I hit submit... guess what. It was GONE because the forum decided I was being "idle" and no, when I hit "back" it wouldn't let me return to the Edit Post.
So there goes my nearly 40mins of work. THANK YOU!

I've had this happen before. It's really annoying.

I haven't had that happen to me, but I have lost posts before in a similar way and it is really irritating.It was GONE because the forum decided I was being "idle" and no, when I hit "back" it wouldn't let me return to the Edit Post.
Like Heir says, the best thing to do is always copy once you've finished it, before clicking on anything else.

Strange. I have had this happen elsewere (On MCN, pretty much every time I would make a post), and it can be incredibly annoying, so I started a habbit of copying my posts there before submitting them.
Now here, when my internet junks out of whatever when I submit a post (No timeouts, yet), I have always been able to hit "Back" and still have my post there. I think I've been pretty lucky with it here, so far at least.
Even so, I tend to copy any large posts I make, just in case.

The latest version of Firefox has a built-in spell check. Like for instance, your name has a little red line underneath it right now.kelderic wrote:On long posts, I always copy to MS Word. There is the security, plus the added bonus of spell check.

See, that's why there is the "add" function.Dr. J wrote:for instance, your name has a little red line underneath it right now.
Really? I have IE 7, and I don't have a spell check. Is it a setting that must be checked?pacman110011 wrote: and the latest Internet Explorer also has spell check.

I'm not computer-geeky enough to speak with authority on the subject, but my own experience is that using Firefox will also solve the time-out issue. At least, I know that while I would time out on forum posting back when I only had IE, I've never had that problem since using Firefox.Dr. J wrote:The latest version of Firefox has a built-in spell check.
