I just had a post in progress completely disappear. Has this ever happened to you?

This does happen with every one of us and left us to feel bad later on. Have a good day

Yeppers. I had something to say. Now it seems "stale." Maybe I'll get back to it.

Yes, lines just disappearing, never to be seen again. I think it's the digital version of the sock eating monster.

@TheHorse They're a weird bunch, those gremlins. They take my pens that work and leave others that don't

My gremlins have been after my pliers and wood glue lately.

No, it never happened, I always write "offline" in a text editor and I save before posting.

@TheHorse It takes the same time as typing directly online.

@LadyDuck I suppose. And then you cut and paste?

I have had it happen when I was trying to leave a respond on other discussion.

I've had comments not "take" as well.

When you're trying to respond to a discussion, and that happens, look at your mouse pointer. I bet you've left it on the word "Respond" or "Comment". If you bump your mouse or the mouse pad while the pointer is still touching those commands, you open a new comment box, deleting the first one.

@DaddyEvil Sigh. It's possible. On Epinions, we could "save" partial posts and get back to work on them later. I liked that feature.

In my box, I've explained to pony how/why that might have happened, if you're interested.

I've had that happen. I will read a super long post, or sometimes a short one, respond to it, and then find out it's gone.

In this case I was writing the post. I hit return, to begin the next detailed and insightful paragraph, and it was just gone.

Did you post it or it disappeared when you are done and about to post it?

It's happened a lot to me mostly because a finger gets too close to something that changes my page as I do mine in my phone. Now I try to write in Evernote a few notebook and c/p it here and have less lost.

No, I haven't had that happen. I hope you enjoyed the pool. Those temps are much too hot for me. We've been in the 90s. I think we're in for a hot summer here.

@just4him Thanks. Nah, it's just the temperature. I may check what the temp is here before I go to work. It's only 8:25 AM here right now.

It's going to be cooler today, with a high around 104 F. I head to the foothills this evening for some music jammin' with friends.

I've never had that happen. Looks like DE has a solution. I'm afraid the heat and drought will be around for a while. Do you have drought in your area? Stay cool and hydrated!

That has never happened to me, although I have lost entire posts when trying to post them. Many times I now resort to writing the post offline and then just copying and pasting it when I am ready to "publish" it. I do this more often for more "in depth" posts. I guess if I don't mind if I lose my lunch...err...well...my post about what I HAD for lunch. What kind of microphone are you going to get? Ever thought of getting a DAW and audio interface to record at home?
