Does this only happen to me?....

[Isaiah 6:8]

Has anyone else experienced this or is it just my computer being dumb? Typing along a long, long reply, lots of details and working on it for a good 45 minuets and then you go to backspace because you typo, and wow zowie, you browser jumps back, and you loose everything? that has happened to me twice tonight and many times before, almost every time I am typing a long post! Am I hitting a shortcut key I don't know about!?... Grrr... now back to retype my answers, both of them, and then my other deep answers as well, in Open Office. I shall do that for now and cut and past so I don't lose all my thoughts!

[Isaiah 6:8]

Well I figured it out. I must have palm clicked on the mouse button. taking me out of the text input. If you hit backspace and your not in a text box of some sort it will take you back as a shortcut. So does anyone know how to disable this "Feature"?

I don't have yet my own computer, so I have learned to put everything online....

Try using Blogger for your replies here in WCF. It has frequent autosave, and even if your computer crashes, you'll still have your drafts online.

Write your reply, publish it, and copy-paste it here.... (Only the basic formatting are retained.) Then do your final edits here....

If I am doing a long post, one that i have to think about, I do it in Word and save it as I go.

When I am ready I copy and past into the post, because I have experienced the same problem as you on too many occasions....

Another advantage is if you want to go back to a long post you did, it is in a folder, and you don't have to search your posts for it.

i've had that happen before. sometimes (but not always) i can hit the back button (forward button?) and go back to the page and the text will still be there. that depends on the site you're on and the software they use. i honestly can't recall if it works here on worthy, but next time that happens, give it a try.

[Isaiah 6:8]

I did but it does not work!

[Guest LadyC]

sorry....

[ladypeartree]

Yeah ... I have similar things happen often ... I find that giving the computer a good hard lick works wonders....it may not bring back your work but as long as you have strong shoes on it helps to relieve the frustration

Oh yes! I have had that happen a few times and sometimes I can get it back or rewrite it with no problems and then there are the times its gone for good and well I just kinda take that as the leading of the Spirit that I shouldn't post what I was going to.

Yep - had it happen too many times to count.

Try hitting crtl Z and see if it gets it back. Sometimes it does, and sometimes not.
