Post lost because of time out 

Post#1 » by hands11 » Tue May 26, 2009 6:23 pm

Wow it really sucks when you work up a really nice post and you click reply only to find out you are now logged out and your whole message is lost.

When I remember I copy before clicking the submit button but I don't always remember to do that.

Would be really nice if

A) the message was cashed so after you complete the re-logging in that it actually posts like you intended.

B) I've seen other boards that warn you if you reply while you got logged out. It posts your message on the screen telling you to copy it so you can paste it after you log in again.

Anything would be better the just losing all your work. Back space. Back space.. there is nothing there. Sorry Charlie.

Hi hands11,

This problem was fixed a while ago, but if it is still happening to you and others I'll see if I can find a solution similar to the one you described.

I have never had a problem pressing back and reclaiming the post.
