Oh boy, need to rant. This has happened so many times, and I should know better, but I just need to rant. Lost a very lengthy post I was typing again, it is so disconcerting. When I KNOW that I am doing a post that will be long, I always type it in word and then copy that text into a message window. Many times I don't though, I don't realize how long my post is getting until I actually think about it. My fingers fly over the keyboard and I just am in too much of a hurry to save the words in a document. I should know better. There have been many times when I have made a post and I do something, I am actually not even sure what it is, but I think it is pushing the backspace key two times or something to correct a spelling mistake and that action takes me to another window. Think it would be back to the window where the topic I am replying to is. I push the arrow button to take me forward to where the window was that I was typing in my response and that window is now blank. Nothing in the message box, nodda, not a thing. All that typing, and when I type for 10 or 15 minutes, you can bet your bottom dollar (just like I am doing now, hope I don't lose this, hold on, think I will do control A then control C (for all and copy) so at least some of my words are copied into the clipboard (space where "stuff" gets put for later use when you paste that stuff into something) that it is going to be something that is going to be long, and usually very convaluted. This has happened so many times, and it frustrates me so many times, that it makes me go and do something else, like reading on the internet.
I have never encountered this before on a forum, and I am so pissed off right now, that I have to go and do something else. I am active on a good number of forums and this is the only program that "loses" messages that I am posting....what is wrong? It was a reply to TripleJ and what to charge or how to sell chicks when they are sex linked. Blah. I wonder what it is, and Jayme, I wonder if you can talk to the service provider of this forum service, if there is something that users can do to not have their posts lost in cyberspace. I know I am not the only one that has typed a post and then lost it for one reason or another, it is sickening and saddening at the same time. As those thoughts, once processed through the fingers, to the keyboard, to go on the screen, will never be recapped the same as the original thoughts were. Oh dear, sounding a little bitchy this morning. Well. I am, so much thought and time are lost, and I had some really good comments that would be so helpful, but they are lost somewhere, out in space somewhere, and I know I won't have the guts nor gumption to type exactly what I was before, sighing that big sigh. Oh well, I'll probably be off this high horse tomorrow morning and retype my thoughts on selling chicks, be they gendered or not. To all, have a most beautiful day, CynthiaM.
I know that I have read posts where others have spoken about losing their typing, to some, typing even a small message is a huge deal because of slow typing. There MUST be something that can be changed in the forum setup or something....anything?.....it is so disconcerting!!

. Being careful is something I am good at, just get so caught up in fast typing that I forget to save down work I do, this was a hard lesson the last time. I wonder if other people could chime and and speak of what they do, if they have ever figured it out, to lose the text they are typing in the message box. I know I have read many posts about people losing their post, many times, not just me. But I think the longer that post is, the more likely it is to have an ability to be lost, sigh....when you have a minute, check it out. I think it is like pushing the backspace key two times (I correct all my typing errors, which are not many, and do it so fast when I do, that I don't even really know what my fingers are doing, smiling that big smile). I know you will look into it, one fine day, and I thank you ahead of time for that attention, that is nice to know that we are looked after.
. Make your comments on what you think has happened when you lose a post that you are making, come on....I know you are out there, come out of that lost post closet!! 
Beautiful days to us all, CynthiaM.
