In the last few days I was writing a new thread and pasting in pictures. I had written a few hundred words and pasted in a half dozen pics but needed one or two pics more to finish the post properly. So, it sat for maybe a day until I got that photo made yesterday. Was I ever disappointed to go to the forum and find the thread had evaporated. So, just wondering how long a partial new thread post lasts and also the same for composed but not yet posted comments. Could the “New Thread” header have a note or banner indicating how long you have until posting? Denis
This is something that would be designed into the software, not something I have control over. But I will look at your individual permissions and see if there may be some sort of work around....
I've lost long posts this way before while checking another window for a minute or less. I come back and it's gone. Other times I revisit an old thread months later and there's still a draft of something I decided not to post ages ago sitting there. Sometimes hitting "preview post" before going to another window seems to help keep a draft post from disappearing, but not always. Typing it all out in ie., Notepad first then adding photos after pasting the text into the forum seems more foolproof, if a little cumbersome. Jeff
