Yeah, that always sucks. When I write out a review, I now always make sure to highlight it and do the right click copy. Just in case.

Yeah that's why I'm pissed. More pissed at myself for not doing anything like that. I usually click the preview every once in awhile but since we moved, the preview button doesn't work for me.

It works for me, just not in the way that it did on the other forum. When creating a thread, or using the Reply option instead of the quick reply, it shows the post as it will be seen below the box that I'm working in. Kind of odd, and it took me a long time before I realized that it was showing up down there.

Hmmm, tried again and it doesn't work unless the thread has been published. I much have been thinking of strictly the edit process.

I am still ranting about not have a tool bar with my home computers, so I can lose things on them.

I usually draft in notepad or similar before posting the text in and add the pics

Hey, I was fiddling around with my account and found that under Edit Profile you can go to Settings and choose something called Enable Drafts which will allegedly save you post at intervals while you are writing it. Haven't tried it out, but figured it was worth mentioning due to the thread subject.

I've felt the pain of losing my work too many times and sympathize with anyone in the same boat. I try to draft in word on longer posts or at least right click-copy but sometimes I still forget. There is also some key combination that erases everything in one swipe which I apparently hit with my palm or fingers accidentally. That's the worst! I have been using the preview function and it seems to be working just fine for me/my needs.

Ctrl+A then Backspace or Delete will do that.

Luckily I followed you advice and highlighted and copied.
