Something really useful I've just discovered
Jun 2nd, 2008 at 11:53am
 
Now I've lost track of the number of times I've typed up an answer to a topic only to have it disappear into the ether when I press the 'post'. button.

But I've just discovered that everytime you write a reply it's automatically copied to the windows clipboard.
So by simply right clicking and pasting in -the now blank - window you get everything you typed back :-)

This also ties in with the 'why does slinging.org access my clipboard' thread.

Worth remembering and should banish those: 'oh-bum-I've-just-spent-half-an-hour-typing-up-my-new-slinging-theory-and-the-bl
oody-computer-has-just-eaten-it' blues :-)

Took you some time to figure it out, specially as it has been mentioned on the forum at least 2 times, maybe many more  Wink

Well that is sure good to know.  My computer has been known to just up and decide to stop working.  It has been a source of some frustration.  I usually don't post long discourses on here, at least not yet anyway, due to my lack of experience.  But as I progress I'm sure I will get more wordy, so I think I will start letting it access my clipboard.  So how did you discover this?  Freak accident, or careful study?

When in doubt, shoot for the head (worked for David anyway...)
