Oh man, do i ever know where youre coming from there. I done a biggish post in the bg2 forum not too long ago, posted it but forgot to put my password in. Hit the "back" button to correct things only to be presented with a blank text box. I lost it largestyle. Swore at the monitor and allsorts, shameful but there ya go. http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif

I know I remember one time I was looking for someones name and when doing so the computer did something weird while deciding to diconnect itself from the internet for some bizarre reason and I lost a huge post i was doing on a debate about gun control very annoying and I just couldnt be bothered to write it again.

<h2>Tip for keeping long messages:</h2>

Periodically highlight your entire message (Ctrl-A), and to copy it to the clipboard (Ctrl-C). Do this again when the post is complete, before you hit Submit. Then, if anything goes wrong, you can paste it into a new blank screen. I use it all the time.

Fljotsdale, I will resize yours, if you'd like...

EDIT: Just wondering if its the avatars or some underlying problem elsewhere.


I doubt it, but in any case, I'm getting rid of the avatar Images.. they are too big, and I may go back to stars or something small like the stars.. Gems, rubies.. something!! http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif

Never try to teach a pig to sing; it wastes your time and it annoys the pig
