FreeWrights Peer Review™

I've noticed that a lot of you (well, Bandit, anyway) have been noting that a lot of your long posts have been lost by the Server Error Monster and its relatives. What form exactly does this beast take? I do have some ideas on dealing with it. (Not by fixing the system, for that is beyond me, but by not being unprepared.)

Namely, if it is a problem with entering your post, and after clicking "submit" you get an error message and cry "Aaargh!" for your post is now lost, fear not. If you getFirefox, a free web browser that isn't as stupid as MS IE, you can click back and your text will still be there, saved in temporary memory. You can then try again until it works or save it to a file in your computer for later.

Let's talk about this problem and figure out exactly what's going on! (I don't really know, cause it hasn't happened to me...)

Cameron,

Interesting. Your posts have never been eaten? Well... I'm a techno-idiot, so what I've been doing is clicking copy on everything I post. But earlier this morning there was an entirely new can of surprise worms here--don't ask! Perhaps it is your youth or polymath status which is protecting you.

fondly,
bandit
