Irritating problem

Hi Folks,

Gggrrrrrrr.........I'm irritated!

I have just spent over an hour typing in a post on my T55 suspension only to find that when I tried to post it the site had logged me out and the post was lost. This is not the first time it has happened.

What am I doing wrong? Is there anything I can do about this because some of these posts do take a long time to write, or would it be better to split my posts into shorter segments.

Thanks for any help you can give

Peter

unless you check the keep me logged in box when you log in, unfortunately it will happen on any forum :(

What i do, is before i press submit, i select the whole post and copy it, encase something goes wrong, in which case i can simple paste it again.

sorry for that,

Matt

That is a good idea about copying the post in case of problems. Saxondog

Thanks guys, no fool like an old fool is there?

Is this Gods way of telling me I'm spending too long on here and not enough time building?

I always do the copy and paste thing on the web..it saves a lot of typing.

I also keep a Notepad document on the desktop to use as a scrap pad, if I see any useful info anywhere I just copy and paste the text, really useful for phone numbers, addresses etc too. I even use it when comparing prices. I use the cross channel ferries and by doing this I have all the data from each operator for comparison (they change their fares quite often).
