Mr. Maul Posted October 22, 2002 Share Posted October 22, 2002 Don't you really get p***** off when you spend a really long time making a thread, and when you go to submit you have to sign in again and you loose all that work? Is there someway to fix that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrist cutter Posted October 22, 2002 Share Posted October 22, 2002 Get a better computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acid Posted October 22, 2002 Share Posted October 22, 2002 [size=1]All that work? Typing a few sentences isn't that much work. :p But, wrist cutter is correct. It is probably your computer. I have not had any problem with this.[/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In such a case, it'd be wise to copy your entire post before hitting submit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitch Posted October 22, 2002 Share Posted October 22, 2002 [color=red] This should be in suggestions and feedback. And yes, it has happened to me before. But not everything can go as planned. And as far as I can tell, there is no way of fixing it. I should've probably closed this, but oh well :p *moves it*[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Semjaza Posted October 22, 2002 Share Posted October 22, 2002 I make sure to copy everything with Ctrl+C before I click submit, just in case something weird like that does happen. I actually had the same thing happen to me the other day. OB claimed I was signed out, when I actually wasn't. I refreshed the page and it was fixed. If you forget to copy what you wrote, just hit back. It's set up in such a way that your text will still be in the box, unlike some other forums.

James Posted October 23, 2002 Share Posted October 23, 2002 [color=royalblue]Good advice here. It's always wise to copy what you type, just incase you encounter this problem. In most cases, you can simply press "back" on your browser, and the text will remain there just as you typed it. Hopefully these solutions should help you.[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deedlit Posted October 23, 2002 Share Posted October 23, 2002 [color=green]Actually, I think it's with a very few accounts. Anna's account is just like that. She would be typing on the computer, push submit reply, and will make her login again, causing her post to be lost. I know it's not the computer because she's my sister and it never does that to me. :huh:[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted October 23, 2002 Share Posted October 23, 2002 [color=royalblue]It could simply be that she hasn't activated the cookies in her account. If that's the case...then of course, she should do so in order to fix the problem.[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RicoTranzrig Posted October 23, 2002 Share Posted October 23, 2002 If you're making a very large post, it may also help by doing it on a word processor first...plus you can check your spelling and stuff. It's probably in the Profile> Edit Options. It's under Login, Cookies, and Privacy. Check yes to "Automatically Log in when you return to the site (uses cookies)." Very convienent, but if you're wary about someone else using your computer and going to otakuboards...then it might not be a good idea... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Posted October 23, 2002 Share Posted October 23, 2002 Agreed, if you are investing grreat time into a post.. and not using a decent word processor, it is most likely that the post wasnt all that important...bleh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shinobi Posted October 23, 2002 Share Posted October 23, 2002 i think that she has followed a link from say her email account, you knwo when it notifies you of someone replieng to your post, well if you click that link, read the post then type in the lil box at the bottom then submit, it says please sign in, but if you click Reply and reply in the normal reply area and not the lil box, then it works. Well thats with me anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Maul Posted October 29, 2002 Author Share Posted October 29, 2002 You're all wrong. Wrist Cutter- I wasn't talking about this thread. Endymion-It's not my computer. James-I tried to go back, but there was some stupid error message. RicoTranzrig-This computer doesn't have WP. Mystic's Knight-Yes, the thread was important. Semjaza Azazel-I copied, but it didn't work. As I said,You're all wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Posted October 31, 2002 Share Posted October 31, 2002 [b]I, like Nerdsy, have never been on a computer that can't copy and paste. Simply highlight everything, press CTRL + C (at the same time) to copy, and CTRL + V to paste (if need be). I do this after I type a long post in case something goes wrong.[/b] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Semjaza Posted November 1, 2002 Share Posted November 1, 2002 Whenever I copy I press ctrl+C like 3 times just to ensure that I copied it. After all that stuff that everyone else suggested, the only thing I can say is you didn't copy properly heh. Every computer with Windows has notepad and wordpad. Both suffice.
