I was just writing a review, something that takes quite a while as you all know.
I hit submit - and i get : "Invalide Caracters in text"
I use the back arrow - to look up what is wrong.
EVERYTHING is gone.
Sad , waisted 1 hour. ------------- Prog is whatevey you want it to be. So dont diss other peoples prog, and they wont diss yours |

sorry to read that  you better should prepare your review with another application first - preferably a simple text editor ... I even do this when I'm going to post some longer chapters in the forum here ------------- https://awesomeprog.com/users/Rivertree" rel="nofollow">  |

| Yes, it's always best to prepare it elsewhere first, then copy and paste into the form. Sorry to be wise after the event here! |

I always copy and paste it from Note pad, and always keep it copied (IE, copy it after every sentence) in case either of the programs crash/freeze/whatever. -------------

Some browsers allow using "back" button to give your review back. Not this one, but if this will happen in future, then ... you're safe. Also you can try some javascripts, addons, depending on what browser you use. So, it's all about browser man. IE isn't recommended for this. Of course, programs like Writer (OO) are great, they have auto-save. ------------- There's a point where "avant-garde" and "experimental" becomes "terrible" and "pointless," -Andyman1125 on Lulu  Even my |

I'd download SAFARI if I were you - I've accidently gone back/forward, and it saves the form, so it doesn't erase it  -------------

Heard a rumour that it somehow collects your data of usage. But except this (just rumour), it should be the fastest browser around. And back function ? I dunno. I use Opera with flash turned off because of advertisement and secondary Firefox to Flash thingies. ------------- There's a point where "avant-garde" and "experimental" becomes "terrible" and "pointless," -Andyman1125 on Lulu Even my |
