![]() 1494 forum posts 403 photos | Mart - It happened to me once. These days I make sure the pics are in the album before creating saved text in Word after which I paste into the dialogue box. Just a matter then of adding the photo/s. Maybe not completely foolproof but it works for me. ( Pete - can you let him have a postcode ?) Rik |

10668 forum posts 2415 photos | When a post is typed into the editor window, everything stays local to your machine until the 'Add Posting' button is clicked. If the server times-out, or the network misbehaves, or your PC or Browser misfire, then - as far as I can tell - the content is wiped. I prepare long posts with a word processor first and only paste text into the forum editor screen when it's ready to go. Much less risk of a time-out because pasting is quick and there's still a master copy if the link breaks. Also helps manage long posts: a size limit makes it necessary to split large contributions across two or more posts. Easier and safer to work from a master. Dave

4655 forum posts 304 photos | I have just created two new threads with pictures, and in both, the text has been lost in amongst the pics. I tried to avoid the timeout problem. |
