Mathematical Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 SHouldn't the editor autosave my post? Where can I find it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrP Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Doubt it - you'd need to cut and paste it and save it elsewhere. I could be wrong, but I am pretty sure I've never seen a save button for partially finished posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mathematical Posted January 25, 2017 Author Share Posted January 25, 2017 Gah... I thought I was safe because it even said "Post autosaved" in the bottom left of the editor when I previewed the post. Damn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swansont Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 If you close the page without posting I don't think autosaving helps you. I'm not sure what the autosave actually does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel your pain, for some reason once written it can never be recalled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does work. I just tried it. I typed something and then refreshed the page after the auto-save message. It was blank but there is this button highlighted in red. When you click it, this window pops up: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StringJunky Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 (edited) As long as the message has been autosaved you can wander off to different pages and go back to your message by clicking in the message box and using the restore option. As soon as you write another message in it, it will be lost. For reference, if you have an outage or technical cock up of some sort, you can try getting it back by refreshing the page and clicking back in the box and it may give the option to restore in the bottom-left of the message box. I think it uses a couple of minutes intervals to autosave your message at that time. Edited January 25, 2017 by StringJunky 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mathematical Posted January 26, 2017 Author Share Posted January 26, 2017 Well, thank you everyone! Really. Unfortunately, I cannot retrieve the lost content and will write it up again later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StringJunky Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 (edited) Well, thank you everyone! Really. Unfortunately, I cannot retrieve the lost content and will write it up again later. You could just pin Notepad to your taskbar in Windows then copy/paste your post in for future posts. Comes up instantly and saveable; no waiting to load.
