I don't know if it is ok to write a draft first before pasting/copying it into MyLot. You see, i have written a quite long discussion and all of a sudden my PC shut down. I was patient enough to just re-start and re-write but afterwards, it happened again. I could recover my file anymore and what i wrote just couldn't be retrieved. I re-wrote again. After the sixth time (yes, 6!) it happened, i gave up and stopped writing.
Need some advise on this. It is really very annoying loosing what you have written especially when it is of substance and is quite long.

You told it is right. I had faced the problem of disappearing what the matter I have typed. But in mylot.com the facility of copy and paste is allowed to only those members who have 500 posts in their account.So few days you have to bear this inconvenience.

Nope! You cannot just copy and paste your comments or discussions here at Mylot. I've tried it once and it said "in order to help prevent spam, only users with a rating greater than 500 are allowed to paste". I was starting a discussion on something but as I was about to post it, it disappeared...Imagine the thinking, the typing and time spent in writing a substantial comment only to loose it in just a snap. So I wrote another one and copied it, thinking that if ever it would disappear again I can just paste it here. Guess what? It happened for the second time and that wasn't the last. It happened to me three times. But when I tried to paste it the boz appeared saying "in order to help prevent spam, only users with a rating greater than 500 are allowed to post". And one member was actually pissed off cuz of this. Although our experience is different from yours. But still, we are not allowed to.
