Yes, it has. I just re-wrote it. It's gone when that happens.

@Janet357 When I write a post, I type it right into the box. I don't save it first unless it's the Daily Bible Study which I do in Word.

I always save my discussions before posting, so I cannot delete by accident.

It's not quite clear whether you mean that you deleted the discussion you were about to post and before you had pressed the 'Start Discussion' button or whether you had posted it but pressed the 'Delete' button under the discussion. Either way, I'm afraid that it's gone for good once it's gone.

i wrote the post then pressed the send button. but then since the connection was very slow, i had to.copy it so that i could paste it on the newly opened mylot window. but instead of copying it, i pressed paste so it was accidentally erased .

@Janet357 Ah yes! I've done that before now! The only solution is to say a naughty word under your breath and remember to pay more attention next time!

I generally try to save it before posting. I have suffered it once. I posted a long discussion and it took a long to get posted. Then suddenly an error message popped and it was lost. It was frustrating and I learnt my lesson to save long ones before posting.

@Janet357 Yes. Better copy and save the longer post from nest time. Saves that energy and frustration.

Mylot could REALLY benefit from a draft feature like Bubblews used to have, to remedy mishaps like that (by autosaving the draft form.)

Yes be careful when pressing forward or back in your browser because you will lose your post that is not submitted yet. I have that experience with CP mostly while I was typing I accidentally pressed the left arrow and I was immediately sent to another page and when I go back to the page I was responding its gone already. I have to write again on the site.

I have had the internet connection going off and hence not being able to post my discussion. It is frustrating when you have to type it all over again.
