This is way Annoying!
    #5552202 - 04/24/06 07:30 PM (17 years, 9 months ago)

I'm a little lit, and trying to make a post in the hunting forum, but the first time I forgot to specify a subcategory, and when I hit the back button my post was gone. :mad2:


So I assigned a category, and retyped my post, pasted in the pictures, hit the submit button... and it tells me I forgot to put a title on the thread. I hit the back button and my post is gone.
:crankey:

I know it is my fault for making mistakes. I just hope there is some way we can make the software a little more forgiving.

Please?

There's a feature in My Home that saves your posts as you type them.

There's an option on the way down about backing up posts.

I lost a post to that subcategory bullshit the other day as well.  Fuck subcategories :crankey:

No, we need the subcategories, we just need the software to prompt the user to chose before it dumps the thread. It shouldn't say; "Sorry, you are a dumb-ass! Your post has been deleted!

It should say, "Your post has been transmitted; please enter a subcategory (mandatory)."

I am the first to admit I don't know how to make this fantasy into a reality, but if somebody who does know could make it happen, that would be groovy.  :smile:

How often to backup posts? (0 to disable.)
minutes


Should I set this to one minute, or zero minutes?

1 min I guess. Or .5 if it will let you.

I feel your pain...

and have had the same thing happen to me.


When I'm writing up stuff that I don't want to lose...

I copy and paste it to a notepad file on my computer til I know for sure its posted here at the Shroomery.

that solved my brain farts...and any Shroomery issues.

:smile:

This is a bug, it is supposed to keep what you already filled in.

>when I hit the back button my post was gone

You aren't supposed to hit the back button, just correct the missing fields and submit.

I will take a look at it.

Just so you know there is a problem with having that on. If you spend more than the amount of time you have it set to replying to a post, and then go to quote another for whatever reason, it will not let you do it. Instead of getting the quote of the other person you'll get what you've been working on.

Pretty damn annoying when you're trying to put something big/important together.

I always right click select all and copy before clicking the post/preview.

A few times I did some culinary posts and lost everything back when we only had one pic at a time upload and I had a dial up connection. So the full hour I spent waiting and typing went to shit just like that.

Anno fixed it so that a pop-up tells you not to hit the back-button, but rather to fix the error and hit the continue-button.

My post was saved , but I have it set to .5 minutes as OneMoreRobot3021 advised.

I know but I was a little drunk and forgot to copy it. I think the software is easier to use now.

^^^^^^

Looks like Stein is quoting me as I speak. Is that another bug, or am I using the software incorrectly?

Bad syntax.

I know but I was a little drunk and forgot to copy it. I think the software is easier to use now. [./quote]

On Stein's quote your tags should be [.quote] and then [./quote] without the .
And you don't need the other [./quote] at the end of your reply.
