[quote:Lester:MV8xMjg4NzkyXzIxMDc0Nzc2X0E0QjFCNDA5] As much as I enjoy the GLP experience, since none of the other 20 someodd forums I am member of "lose" the post if the window changes, I figure this to be a deliberate programming decision or just stupidity on the part of the software designer. No other discussion forum loses or erases the typed material until it is deleted consciously by delete button or keyed deletion or perhaps highlighted and typed over. It is bullshit to inadvertently move forward back in your browser, if still in the same program and lose your work. You can move to answer a PM while still posting or making a reply on all other forum software I've seen and NOT lose the text you were working on when you come back to your window. It is also an extreme Bullshit policy to allow Member OPs to ban members who make dissenting comments or pose non-aggressive and non-insulting opposition within the scope of the topic posted for discussion. This same OP banning policy ought to apply in reverse to prohibit anyone who has banned another member from posting on threads authored by persons they've banned. There ought also be a waiting period applicable to new members so they can get the flavor of the GLP forum in its openness and spirit of discussion. Those newbies who ban persons for not exactly agreeing with them or politely questioning their motives are not showing tolerance or openness to investigation which should mark all participation here. I have never banned anyone from one of my threads. Guess I'd better post this now before my clumsy XXL hands lose another 5mins of work... Thanks for the moderator attention. Dr. P. has posted stuff on my threads in the past. I might have argued with you then, before you were a moderator; still would, but I wouldn't ban you and would hope not to be banned. Seems we ought to tolerate each other short of making threats to do violence... [/quote]

Ever happen to you?
Type several paragraphs and then bump back one window and lose the typing?
This is the only forum I know of that does that. Others keep your work in the window so you lose no content.
I must have too big hands for a full-sized laptop.
Sure sucks to lose the effort for no reason.
How about a "fix" or enablement moderators?
