Try to Preview Topic, Message Disappears

Post by solace_of_shadows »

I just spent over an hour responding in a forum thread to click "preview" and have it all just disappear. I just thought I would mention this in case I'm not the only one. Is it my computer or something else? It's happened before.

No you are not the only one. I'm not sure why this occurs but I guess this happens because of sessions' timeouts. If you write long posts please be sure to copy then just in case. And when you click preview or submit and your message disappears click the back button it should be back and this time when you post it should work.
And usually a server session lasts around 20-30 minutes so if you are writing a message longer than that it is going to disappear.

Ah ok that's what I was wondering. Though the back button doesn't keep it, it's already gone. But in any case, yeah usually I copy all of them anyway at first to avoid these kinds of things but that day I forgot. Thanks.
