And when you've typed a page-long post in your browser suddenly BAM it's gone! Fuck you, technology!

Hah, and then to rewrite the post with an added bitchfest about said issue, only to do it again...

Saving a draft is handy, but I don't think that feature is on the Mag.

here's a hint:
if you write something lengthy, copy it to the clipboard (ctrl+a, ctrl+c) every few minutes (or at least before you hit post!)
so even if your browser crashes, you can paste it from the clipboard.
saved me from having to rewrite stuff many times.

another tip is to write the post in notepad and copy it to the browser once you're done. (notepad never crashes :D)

Jehoshaphat, the mongrel cat, jumped off the roof today. Some say he fell but I could tell he did himself away :biggrin:

damn yeah I always think I am living in the far future here, as time seems to pass like 30x or more faster than it should. And then it seems like I am living in the past as things should be far more advanced by now..I mean really, it should not be this long from the 70's man! Where was/am I now?! hell sometimes I think I am 14 trillion years old so what is a decade or lifetime or a few or several!, whether it be lifetimes or universes it doesn't seem to make a difference anymore.

That's a good idea, I remember doing that back when I had a PC that was prone to crashing.
It just bugs me out when I log out while typing something, it asks me to log back in and then most of the time my text is gone. When my PC completely crashes on the other hand, I open Chrome back up and the text is still there!

what's that mean vonbudi? I don't think it's the same issue with me, but I type a lengthy post and I think I accidentally hit some combo of keys and the whole thing gets highlighted and disappears. What am I doing wrong?

Time is a construct, and we are all more than we know.

His eyes weren't bright like they was the night we played checkers on the train.
God bless his soul, he was a tootsie roll but he's a dead cat just the same.
