Yeah, I've learned my lesson because my web mail at my work has this issue. The timer for disconnecting from inactivity is only a few minutes. There was so many times I lost long e-mails because of this...man I got frustrated. Now I put everything in word then copy past if it's going to be a long write up.

Thanks

If you're doing a huge post... or thread, I usually
would go to the "testing" section and put it all
there first.

And save consistently... when it's all done, cut,
paste, post.

I personally won't wanna fire up Word for it
because I don't like to get interrupted with
typo and grammatical errors the system catches.

If I am going to fire up anything, I use Notepad.

But for replies, I usually keep it really short, but
that's just my habit =)

  when I clicked "Post", the forum said... "We're
  doing some maintenance" or something to that
  nature.
  
  I quickly hit the back button, the stuff was
  still there. I saved it all onto a Notepad and
  when the forum came back, my stuff's ready
  to go.
  
  Phew!

  Ah, good point. I was using FF or maybe Chrome
  when that happened. I've stopped using IE since
  ... I don't know when.

  I would definitely say to use something like Word and to save it.
  
  IE has also really been playing up lately and I find myself using
  Google Chrome more and more as it is much more stable.
  FF is good, but a bit or a resource hog.
  
  Thanks

  The BACKSPACE key on IE gets interpreted as the BACK arrow (like clicking the Back button and going back into your history).
  
  Most likely, the cursor got positioned outside the form where you were typing and when you hit the backspace to correct something in your post, IE said, OK, I'll take you back in your history.
  
  It's handy when you WANT it to do that, kinda not so much when you don't.
  
  Thanks

I agree with Asher but would bump it up to WordPad in order to make color or font or text size changes. Then again I'm trying to boot into Ubuntu as often as possible these days since the new computer I'm building over the next few months will be Microsoft-free. Long story short...OpenOffice 3.2 sure seems to load fast...it can do everything I could possibly need it to do. I won't say it's perfect, but it's what I've got and so far it's been good enough.

One more thing. This is a plea to those of you out there who create your squeeze pages in Word. Don't. It makes your web pages triple normal size and for folks who aren't on broadband (thankfully not me) it's very slow to load. You want speed, that's why you're not using Flash or anything like that. So if nothing else, find a program to strip out the XML mess before you FTP it to your site.

Thanks

Dont ever use word to create squeeze or any HTML webpages is what i have been told right here in the WF.Use Open Office,frontpage,dreamweaver,
ect...
Word just screws them up.Also,Open Office does a great job on ebooks,it will also embed photos,video links,and text links with no problems.

I believe there are a couple warriors here that have some Open Office templates as WSOs.

Maybe they will chime in or someone that knows them.
I really like my OF.

Yes this is very true. Word can mess up your posts for some reason or another. I should have mentioned, but when I'm creating larger posts on forums I use dreamweaver.

If you do it in Word you can end up with odd characters in your post when viewed with Firefox and some other non-IE browsers. Best to use a plain text editor rather than a word processor.

LOL, it's not a lot of fun for sure ...

But if the text disappeared you can hit ctrl+z to pull it back, it worked for me ...

But if the whole Firefox tab disappeared then hit ctrl+shift+t that will open the last tab closed with the text written in it , learn more about this trick here
