I tried doing it this morning

May be you can do it in word and save it.

Sorry, I know it's not funny....phone-typing can get really messed up....but this discussion reminded me of my Mom, who actually finds a way for this to happen ON HER COMPUTER. Not phone, regular computer. She'll be typing a really LONGG email (they're always long for some reason)...and then I'll hear her yelling and swearing....saying, "My whole email disappeared!! How can that happen?? Where could it be now??? Mel, just come over here and tell me where it could have gone.." I never go there, because I've never heard of a person's email "disappearing." I can't help her with a problem that shouldn't really exist anyway. I just sit there and tell her that I have no clue what could have happened, then I tell her that she has a stupid computer and it's "the computer's fault" (that always makes her feel better,) and then I tell her to take a computer class. She really needs to, and is in total denial about it. Nobody's email just "disappears."

I have an app called fast notepad. It's easy to use, uses very little memory on your phone, and is perfect for writing out your discussions. You can write them on the app, even when you don't have time to get on here. Like when you've at the store n think of a topic, you could joy the idea in a new note n sabre it for when you have time to write it out fully. Even if you accidentally hit the back or the home button, it will save what you wrote so you don't lose it. I do so hate to lose a well thought out, perfectly written discussion only to hit the wing button n lose it all!

I wish i still had my rotary phone..hahah..at least i knew what i was doing with that..

Unfortunately, that used to happen to me with the old myLot format, and I didn't even have the excuse that I was doing it on my phone, because I was using my desktop computer.

I couldn't find the magical 'grey pencil', to start a discussion on my 'discussion' link. Could be a snafu.

They probably will not go back the other way. Just remind yourself what a pain it is on the phone and maybe you will not be tempted.

I can do some writing and commenting on my tablet, but I would never manage on a phone. I like the layout, but most sites are difficult to write to on a phone, I think.

This is why I always draft my posts in Word document first. I have had experiences of that sort.

I also miss the other way but I am finally figuring out how to navigate this format.

I haven't attempted myLot on my phone yet. I don't think any of these sites like me when I use the phone - I get so frustrated not being able to do things (even typing) as quickly as I do on the computer at home.

The site seems easy although I don't know how it looked and so on.

I find it hard to make a post in Bubblews using my smartphone . But i haven't tried with Mylot though yet .

Honestly, I'm impressed that you can manage myLot on a phone. I tried it on my tablet, but found the layout absolutely miserable for mobile viewing. I'm not sure that I feel myLot should go back to the old layout... but I definitely would like to see them roll out something that allows easier mobile browsing. An app would be nice *ducks flying produce* but I can't see that happening until a lot more of the kinks get ironed out of the site.

I never read after completing the typing of the discussion or response every time. May be some time I may check for spelling mistakes since long time I am posting discussions without reading them again
