F***ING HELL!!! Twice this month i've lost my posts and topics typing on Mylot and lost what I was about to say. I've never felt this frustrated during my time in here. I had something to say in this topic, "Would you cheer on a lynch mob?" (http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/2163404.aspx), but after I clicked on the "post response" button, my internet connection conked out on me and I lost all of what I was about to say on there! Frustrating as hell!

Now I have no choice but to use word processing software like Notepad or Wordpad, anything that lets me type something out like a rough draft before posting it on MyLot. Saving your topics or posts is optional and so is copying the original, but to save yourself future frustration in losing what you're about to say, type it out on word processing software! There may have been more incidents, I can't remember, but do this method and paste it as a topic or post when you're finished.

Your idea of saving the draft in notepad or word pad is good. But currently i will not be able to do that as i have not reached minimum posts of 500. Post that only i can do copy paste work.

Last 2 weeks we are facing here electricity problem. Many times my all work in Mylot and other sites got destroyed and i stopped doing everything for a while. Your suggestion is good. I will try that as soon as i reach minimum post to do that.

After reading the first response, I tried to paste some thing in the box, I got some long warning or error message which is not allowing me to paste anything..Then I went through some other discussions also to know about that,,,,Are we not allowed to paste anything till we reach 500 posts? Very hard to reach and paste...I happened to know a new thing because of your discussion ..Thanks a lot..Are the other members who reached 500 posts allowed to spam here? I don't understand the concept..

That happens to me all the time because my internet provider is not that good. I'm using wi-fi that's why. I need to get 500 post to be able to copy past. I need more post!!!!! That really is frustrating. I once slammed my hand on my keyboard.

Chill out my dear. Don't put your temper and frustration to your head. Well, what happened to you is normal happening not only here at Mylot. Worse was when I am still below 500 posts. Of course that means, you cannot still copy and paste. Worst, I have to recall whatever I have encoded which is not easy.

When I leveled up to 500 posts, we are able to copy and paste. What I do then is copy everything I had encoded before clicking "post" or "submit". Your suggestion is good too.

It is frustrating really when you had encoded so much, only to find out after when connection shuts down that you can no longer restore it because Mylot has no automatic save feature.

Just do what you think more convenient to you. Happy mylotting!
