Hi,

I've typed a message yesterday in the "Help Chinese" section, inserted some pictures, re-read it a few times... and then I guess I forgot to push the "Post" button before closing the window, as I didn't see it on the board after...

Is there any means to recover this "lost" message?

Thank you!

Matthieu

Dear Matthieu

Sorry, no. Not on the server side as far as I know of. The only way is to use the back button on your browser to see if you can find any previous versions of your own page. This usually works as long as we don't close the browser.

Sometimes when I write something complex I write it in a different word processing program and then copy and paste the text when done.

When I accidentally open a new window to search something, usually I'll get back to my text by just using the back button even before using preview.

This can work even with "recently closed tabs" in the browser.

Dear JE,

Thank you very much for your answer! Unfortunately I had closed the window some time before realizing my message had not been posted, and I have not been able to find it back, even with the history of my browser. It's no big deal, I'll retype it as I have it more or less still in my memory.

I'll keep in mind your recommendation for the future if I have long messages with complicated arguments...

Thanks again,

Matthieu
