So just composed this very long , very engaging, eloquent, heartfelt u2u.
Sent it and as I had one spelling mistake in the recipients name, it simply prompted me
'The recipient does not exist, fuck you I'm deleting all text you spent hours agonising over because you're obviously an idiot'
Ok it only said the first five words and it implied the rest by its actions (by using the word 'it' I'm not saying the software is sentient)
Does my u2u still exist somewhere?Sulaiman - 4-8-2017 at 01:31
My guess is NO, your U2U is gone forever.
Some time ago my internet connection was a little erratic,
this caused me to loose a few posts and/or U2Us,
so I started using Notepad to keep a copy of my text whilst writing or editing until confirmed upload,
I know that at least one other member does similar.
Now that my internet connection is reliable I do not have this problem.j_sum1 - 4-8-2017 at 02:19
I have sometimes retrieved such text by hitting the back button. Or when accidently losing a tab hitting <ctrl><shift>T. But in this case
you are probably out of luck.Panache - 4-8-2017 at 03:16
Rofl,
The message was to you!!violet sin - 4-8-2017 at 10:04
I always coppy my U2U's/post's text prior to posting when it was a big pain in the butt to type it all. I am fairly certain EVERYONE here has lost at
least one big post/msg. And since we don't discuss the weather, it's usually complicated, well thought out, specifically worded text... Ouchie.
Sooo many times I have composed a few small paragraphs over the course of an hour or more, just to have them lost. Ctrl + C is your friend. Also I'm
not sure which ones,.. but I think downthemall, program saved progress on downloads and helped remember field text if fwd/bck button was pushed by
accident. Then again I have been using my phone for so long now, not even sure if that's a viable PC program any more. But some add-ons will aid you
there.Vosoryx - 11-8-2017 at 10:28
Someone had a similar problem in another fourm. They recommended this, if you're using google chrome. If not, i'm sure something similar exists for
some of the other major browsers, and I remember my school having something similar installed on their computers for firefox. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/lazarus-form-recov...
If you don't trust the random link, just search "Lazarus Form Recovery".
Hope this helps... I know the feeling.violet sin - 11-8-2017 at 18:10
Lazarus sounds interesting but, last updated Oct 2014...would be nice to find something newer perhaps. Version 3.0.1 was Dec 2010.
