While I'm writing a post I will occasionally be automatically signed out, and hilarity will ensue when I try to hit "post" and am taken to the login page instead, whereupon I will lose the entirety of my post nearly every time. Yet while I'm writing I will see the "auto-saved" sign occasionally appear. Does this mean there's a draft of my post sitting somewhere I can access?
 
You would do yourself a favor by checking the "remember me" box when you log in. It save you from the problem of being automatically logged off while in the middle of making a post.

That's a good point. I wish I could have that automatically selected somehow.

When I first ran into a vBulletin board I got so frustrated at being logged off that I used to type up my replies in Word then paste them into the thread I was reading. I was probably on that board for 6 months before someone told me to just check that box.
 
With Firefox I have Lazarus as a form recovery add-on. Works with Chrome as well but NOT with IE (no prob with me since I never use that browser).

Where I initially made the mistake of forgetting to click the "remember me" button on here, one simply hovers over the reply window and does a right click. Opens a window where one can choose recovery of just one's text or of the whole form.

Don't need if on here anymore (what with Alzheimer being at least delayed for now) but it's handy for other forms.

For Firefox

For Chrome

Drink coffee, and stop falling asleep while posting. :lol:
