This morning I sneaked on here while my grandson sleeps to write a new discussion. Am using a cellphone, and I need to check the meaning of a word so I hit the exit button.I could not get back/retrieve what I had written.It was gone. Too sad I was almost funished with that post.Next time I'll hit the "start the discussion" button first before checking on something. Lesson learned. Did you have such an experience?

NO, I only use my computer, I write my discussions in a text file offline and then I copy and paste before submitting.

Yes while writing a post on my mobile, my other finger touched start discussion button and the post got uploaded half way down. I tried to edit it and the post was gone by the time I was ready with editing.

It is hard to use a cp; the keypad is so small.

Indeed, so hard to use a cellphone to write; but I have no option because my laptop needs to be repaired.

I have never used a phone for this site so I have not had such an experience.

Oh, yes, I have. When I write a post now, I write it offline and save the text after each paragraph.
