It has happened to me again! This has to have been the 3rd or 4th post I lost just b4 finishing. This only happens in these forums. Does this happen to any1 else?

I had just about finished explaining my thought experiment when, idk did i presss a wrong button? I lost everything. I had spent nearly 30min writing. Trying to make it as clear as possible. It was my first time to share a TE with some one. I wanted to know what yall thought.

I thought your lost thought experiment was interesting.
 


Perhaps from now on, as it appears your browser or something doesn't like PF, you should do these longer writeups in a word processor and then copy and paste them.

Every day we learn new things. Sometimes it's just a small fact or realization. No matter how trivial or random, let's start recording our daily lessons. Please start off with "Today I learned". Keep commentary to a minimum and just LIKE posts. I'll start! Today I learned that you clean up a white hat by spraying some cleaner with bleach on it (rinse before putting it back on your head!)
