Thanks all, an unpleasant lesson learned. It would be great to be able to go into your profile and see any drafts there. And be able to return to them. Is there anyone we can talk to about such functionality? Maybe some of us could put some money together and even help pay for the enhancement (I know I'd kick in some) Thanks ________________________________________ From: vcf-midatlantic <vcf-midatlantic-bounces@lists.vintagecomputerfederation.org> on behalf of Bill Degnan via vcf-midatlantic <vcf-midatlantic@lists.vintagecomputerfederation.org> Sent: Monday, April 23, 2018 7:53 AM To: vcf-midatlantic Cc: Bill Degnan Subject: Re: [vcf-midatlantic] forum posting problem Also, be sure you check the box to stay logged in.

I think everyone who posts nontrivial content has encountered this. I personally put everything together in a text editor, then paste it in when I'm ready, for long posts.
Thanks, Jonathan

Hi guys. I just spent an hour working on a post on my PDP-11 project.
I was reviewing it when I clicked on one of the inline images (as attachment) to see how it looked. It brought up the framed hop-up with the image. I clicked the image within the hop up and the browser now showed the url for the image directly. No hop up, no forum in the background. I then went to click "back" to continue editing the post and I got a blank white page. I went back several times just to arrive back at the original "REPLY TO POST" when I began with no sign of the hour of work I did. Nothing I could do would get it back. Anyone know if the draft is stored somewhere? Is there some place I can go to view my drafts and continue on? Otherwise, very sad!
