I Was In The Process Of Spell Checking An Intended And Lengthy Post When I Completely Lost It.....

[global1]

Is there anyway I can recover that so I don't have to compose and rewrite it. This is not the first time that this happened and I'm thinking there has to be a way to recover from such a error.

Please help!!!

1. This has happened to me.

Sometimes if I open DU in a new window, without closing the old window, and go to the comment that I was posting on, then open a new comment or reply window, it will already be filled out with my old comment. It is frustrating, Good Luck!

2. Yikes, I haven't had that happen to me. For me the danger points are clicking Preview or

clicking Post. This is when I too many times have encountered errors and the browser's back arrow button wouldn't bring it back, nor anything I can think of, and all was lost.

For a long time I've been in the habit of doing a Select All (Control A) and then Control C to copy to the clipboard before doing Preview or Post, and that's saved me numerous times. If it's an especially time-consuming post, I may also paste into a Notepad or Word file occasionally as protection from a computer glitch that loses the clipboard (and then sometimes I continue my editing there instead of in DU).

But during a DU spellcheck? Awk, what I do is only partial protection -- if I happened to save an earlier copy that wasn't too old.

Good luck
