I was 90 per cent done with a new review, and I pushed some wacked out button, ending up at yahoo.com (what was up with that?!?)

Anyhow, does the forum have some hidden service that will save an unfinished post or review?

Osi,

I write my reviews in Microsoft Word before I copy and paste them all in one shot. I find I'm so picky as a writer that if I type them into the Forum directly I'll wind up going back in to edit them about five times before I'm finished.

-Might as well get that over with off-line!

Good Idea, Steve. kind of frustrating to write for 20 or so minutes and it suddenly disappears!

Osi,

Sometimes if you hit the "Back" button of your browser, you might go back to the page that you were composing on. Otherwise....sorry.

I've gotten into the habit of occasionally hitting CTRL-A followed by CTRL-C while writing a post... what this does is mark all of the text written so far, then copy it to the clipboard (in Windows, that is). If you mess up for some reason, you can simply start another reply (or edit if you posted too soon and weren't done with it) and hit CTRL-V to paste the clipboard contents back into the editor.
