Aargh, Mylot Should Have A "Save Discussion" Feature

That hasn't happened to me yet but I'm sure it would make me mad if I had spent 20 minutes typing it out and then it was gone. I just type it on here...I don't type it in "word" and then copy/paste...that takes too long. LOL

ha ha ha ha very true its irritating mylot should add two feature 1)auto save 2) spell check well u have passed 500 posts so sure u can have copy paste feature but what about those who have not reached 500 posts Best Regards

I got tricked one time too many until I decide to employ my own "Save Discussion" feature. I often create my discussion in notepad and then copy it. NO fret if the screen suddenly goes bersek :p

You are not alone. I have had this happen more times then I wish to admit. So, I have gotten to where I will type up the discussion here on mylot. Then I just highlight it and copy it. That way if an error occurs. All I have to do is start it again and paste it in. But typing it in word would be a good idea as well. Best of luck.

yup it just happened to me. i hadn't logged in, typed out a response to you, then after i logged in the answer disappeared. i guess i would take too much trouble to prepare all our discussions on Word first though. they should definitely have a save discussion function.

2nd attempt: So many times I've lost responses here - and as Murphy's Law would have it, it's always the long responses that I muck up. Either I forget to sign in, :( or since I'm a new user and can't copy/paste I mistakenly move some text around in my response (like I just did during THIS response! aaargh - hence the "2nd attempt"). I completely understand you! (though I've never yet lost a discussion - as I haven't created too many discussions yet to potentially lose) Whenever I remember to, I do the copy thing (learnt that a long time ago from losing emails in a slow browser) but it's when I forget that I make the mistakes! Bless you, Old Murphy.

Ooops sorry girlie that never happened to me before but I can imagine how you felt.Typing a discussion then next thing you know its gone.Especially if it took me 20 minutes.Like the first responder said copy and paste next time will be a good idea.

I copy and paste it right from here before I hit submit. I have dial up so when I hiy submit it takes a little while to go through and I hate having to retype it all over again. It's saved many a discussion. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

I remember I used to growl in frustration when this sort of thing happened and would start typing out posts in word first before I pasted it here - but I got fed up doing that pretty quickly and just went back to typing it straight into mylot! I think a way of saving what you are writing is a great idea - you could always delete anything before you posted it! xxx

yes, that was happend to me many times, i hate it,
