No problem. I've lost a couple of REALLY long ones elsewhere (ones that took me a full day to prepare).

It wasn't the same situation as yours, and not at at PA (though I have lost one long review at PA). It was quite a long time ago and I didn't have much internet experience. I've lost a lot of writing through sites being closed, hacked, and errors over the years (sometimes I've been lucky and found cached pages of lost stuff), but those really long ones were very detailed screenplay reviews which I didn't save before trying to post. Back then I typed on the computer based on outlines and notes that I would write on paper (and it was very time-consuming to type). The worst, though, was when my daughter turned off the computer once and I lost a lot of work I had done in editing someone's thesis -- I was working on a very tight deadline.

Greg, that was great. How does one search in Google cache? I tried but couldn't.

I don't know what you tried, but in the google search bar you can add cache: before the url. For instance: cache:http://www.progarchives.com/album-reviews.asp?id=31962 or find the exact page where the review (review number) was and add cache: to the beginning of it. In this case it was very easy for me because all I had to do was use the url that David mentioned ian pasot on the last page www.progarchives.com/Review.asp?id=457899, do a google search for it, and it offered the cached page which had it without me having to do much searching through caches:
VARIOUS ARTISTS (TRIBUTES) Leader of the Starry ... - Progarchives.com7 Jun 2011 ... From Progarchives.com, the ultimate progressive rock music website .... Send comments to frippism; Report this review (#457899) ...www.progarchives.com/Review.asp?id=457899 - Cached Google cached pages often don't last long, and often pages aren't cached -- it was good to find it quickly.. |

I just wrote a review yesterday on Fremtidan ar ett Skepp... and it wouldn´t let me post the bugger. I thought I had lost it, and was pretty angry. I left the interwebs logged completely out, and returned some hours after. I clicked the back button I swoosh there was the review!
Never happened to me before...

As a general practice I write my reviews in word (I have a formatting template for html tags, makes things much neater) and save them to my hard drive before I copy them to the site.

Alright thanks guys - will remember to save my ramblings next time.
I just found it very odd, that after several hours of being away from the computer - it was turned completely off too - I suddenly was staring at my review, which I, for the life of me couldn´t find 4 hours earlier  Oh well, nothing happened after all - maybe it was just a ghost in the machine.

that's happened to me, though I find it's usually a ghost in the brain
