I am not sure if someone has raised this matter yet, but if one begins writing a post and then leaves the computer for awhile (or even a modest bit), what one had written disappears.
Is there a way to avoid that development? Matters would just be more convenient that way.

Hmm. That's news to me. I don't think I've ever had that problem. Maybe I just haven't left my computer in mid-post for very long. Could it have something to do with your screen saver or sleep mode? Are you being logged out for inactivity? Cat sitting on your delete key?

If you go to your profile, click on the Edit Profile button, and choose the Settings tab, the fifth item on the list lets you enable saving drafts, which is apparently done automatically.
I don't know if that will help or not.

Okay, there's more information on the drafts feature here. |

Cat sitting on your delete key? ... not being logged out, and it has not been an issue with other message boards. *Now that I have changed my "Enable Drafts" option, I will see if that takes care of matters. |

Okay, there's more information on the drafts feature here. Thank you; my "Enable Drafts" option was set to "No," so I have now changed it to "Yes." I imagine that this change should take care of matters. Thanks again. |

Actually, even with the "Enable Drafts" function activated, this problem persists. If I am away from my computer for, say, twenty minutes after beginning an in-depth post, the post disappears.
Is there a way to find one's "drafts" that have been "enabled"?

No. But if you're writing something that in-depth perhaps it's best to use Notepad or something similar to form your draft and then copy and paste it over later. |

I was just accustomed to the IMDb format where this issue never arose. |

I've personally never encountered it.
I'll leave an un-posted reply open just to test it but this may be something on your end. Do you use AdBlock? If not, it could be related to the ads.

I haven't played around enough with it to confirm. It could be that or it may be some other extension or addon or even some browser functionality is refreshing the page and wiping out the text. That would be my first guess. |
