[Other] Ever accidentally killed your own post?

Dave · Jan 19, 2012

It's happened to all of us. You are writing a post and then get distracted. Sometimes when this happens you lose the entire post.

No more!

Go ahead. Try it. Start responding and close the tab or something before you finish. Then come back. I'll wait...

Cool, huh?

Please note that this only works for posts. If you're making a new thread everything will still be there but the subject line. You'll have to type that again.

I've never killed a post... accidentally.

I meant it each and every time.

Don't get too cocky there, hotshot. We just haven't found a way to hate it yet.

Guh. Now when I make a post, then re-read it and go, "nah" and close the page, when I get back to the thread it's still sitting there, taunting me.

My orphan posts are out to get me!

:aaah:

Gusto · Jan 20, 2012

Good thing I'm weird and backspace all my posts and THEN navigate away.

Ah. You stab them, then watch the color drain from their eyes before discarding them like so much bad lettuce.

You monster.

I've had that problem before... but mostly it went away with the advent of tabbed browsing. But it's still a cool feature.
