I had just previewed a post I had written in the Trades section (about a delicious meal I had yesterday), went to add something on the end of it, and the whole thing disappeared 🙄


I was completely unable to get it back.


Had I been on my laptop I might have tried control Z, but I was on my mobile. Tried looking at my history but it wasn't there.


Should I have saved the draft? I don't recall anything like this ever happening before.


It was quite a long post, and I didn't have the energy or inclination to write it all out again from scratch 🙄

Hi Sue,


I had a look at the server page view logs to see what happened.

 

  • I can see you requested the New Post page from the server in the Trades section at 08/Aug/2022 17:17:26
  • Then your browser requested the forum homepage on 17:18:30
  • Then the 'About This forum' section at 17:18:53 (and presumably posted this thread)

So based on that, it suggests you may have accidentally pressed the Home button on the page as you were writing the message.


If you accidentally navigate to a different page while writing a message, you should be able to press the back button and the message will still be there. On Android Chrome, the back button is usually the < arrow at the bottom of the screen.


The "Save Draft" is also helpful if you are writing a long message. If you press that then next time you enter the posting page you will see a "Load Draft" button next to the "Save Draft".

      Jay in garden missing tail

      By Kelpie · Posted

      A Jay appeared in our garden yesterday evening and is still there now. Quite large and healthy looking but seems (to my completely ignorant self) to be missing his/her tail feathers which is perhaps why they’re hanging about. I’ve left out some seeds and water but not sure what else can be done? Any keen ornithologists or wildlife carers nearby?

      Cyclists taking over paths!!

      By Spartacus · Posted

      Hen123, despite the stats, it still doesn't mean cyclists are safe to ignore the rules.  There's an old joke when a 95 year old granny with poor eyesight was asked if she had been involved in any accidents during her driving career, and she replies none but I've seen plenty in my rear view mirror  I have seen so many near misses (both as a bus user, driver and pedestrian) where a cyclist has done something unexpected or illegal and fear the day that its not a near miss.

      Half Moon Montessori Nursery: amazing! opposite Judith Kerr

      By sedm · Posted

      I agree. I feel so lucky to have found this nursery. It’s very nurturing but I’ve also been amazed at the phonics etc they do - it’s far superior to what I’ve experienced at other nurseries in the area

      That is clearly not true. I see car drivers breaking the law on an hourly basis - jumping red lights, speeding, not obeying the general rules. Plus they are operating considerably more dangerous machinery and should have a greater responsibility of care to other road uses. You can see who causes the most harm by the stats.
