problems posting...

Pretty disgusted. Typed for 1/2 hour. Yeah I'm slow at it. Kept seeing auto saved in the corner. Hit the reply to thread button accidentally instead of "post quick reply". GONE! My whole reply to a repair help question. Gone. So where is that auto saved content?
I liked a simple "submit" button. "Post quick reply" assumes alot and reminds me I'm not quick. Its all relative anyway. "Post quick reply" seems like a button that should get me started and open a window to type. It sounds encouraging, optimistic and hopeful. To use it to send a two paragraph message that took me an hour to compose is just rubbing my face in it. Its too late. It was not quick. It like saying "You suck at typing and you will be reminded every time you post here! As added swift kick in the groin there is the false hope of the auto save feature may save me if I make on misguided mouse click away from the page or hit a wrong button. I like miss "submit" and the fact that I could use my browser back button as much as I wanted and come back and my typing would still be there. Vented. Feel a bit better. Made myself chuckle. I may go back and try again to help the guy with the brake problem.

Ha I typed dis-gusted and it shows a face. Aside from hyphenating, how can I prevent that?

The , post quick reply button has always been there....even on the old site. The auto save is the new feature. When you scroll down to type a response....there are 2 way to respond. Upper left corner of the reply window is a button that says post reply....you can hit that. You can hit the post quick reply at the bottom right corner...or the go advanced to give you even more options. I know in the past when I have typed something that I did not want to lose because of a glitch or anything....you can use your mouse to highlight the test you typed , by putting the arrow on one corner of the test and then holding down the left mouse button and dragging the arrow to the opposite diagonal corner of the text, release and then right click the mouse and it will give you options. Chose copy and then if you have a glitch that prevents you from posting....you can go back to the blank reply window.....make sure you have a blinking cursor in the window, right click the mouse and then chose paste. All the text you typed will be put back. Hope that helps.
