G.Day Each, Please can anyone help or guide me in the right direction? A number of times now when i have started writing in the Post Box have nudged the Mouse accidently and lost every thing i have written. I have tried various methods to get back the unfinished post but to no avail. Is this my fault,the Computer or the system? GerryB |

Gerry. I use a laptop, with mouse...... Occasionally, I've lost work like that. I think me fumbly fingers tangle with the computer's (unused/ ignored) mouse pad....... I just class it as yet another setback, sent to try me. :bang: :bang: David D |

if its a longish post then why not compose it in note pad or any text editor , then select the text copy it, then paste it in the reply/post box on the forum . that way you will still have the original text to fall back on in case of woopsies Stuart |

CTRL-Z is 'undo' If you were typing in the box and happened to highlight the text and remove it (no easy feat on a PC but very easy on a laptop) all you need to do is press CTRL & Z to 'undo' the delete. You can do it multiple times if needs be and CTRL & Y will 're-do' your 'undo' - like using the back & forward buttons in internet explorer. This won't work if you navigate away from the page you were typing in though. |

Pete and Lordedmond have the right of it. Compose your posts in a text editor then do a copy/paste. Easier to undo as well. My laptop does what you are experiencing... If you are using a PC, replace the mouse. |
