Damn these forums all to hell. I had a wonderful p0ast all typed out in cohesive paragraphs in splendid organized thought. No wall of text or TL;DR required.

Instead I request you lock this turd because It is now too late, I've had a few too many, and I can't ******* take the time to type it all over again.

Copy pasta is my friend I know, and I wish to hell I'd have done it before I pressed the post button.

I accidentally my post =( ,but I'm sure this one will make it through.

If you are using chrome you could just hit [backspace] and your wonderful p0ast would reveal itself again in all its splendor.

Had this happen to me a couple of times as well, you spend so much time writing a proper post out and then you just resort to troll comments because it's funnier watching EVE players rage and it takes less effort.

If it wasn't worth typing twice we probably didn't want to hear it anyway.

Should the above ^, chrome, and firefox lazurus really be required if the forums worked properly and not eat posts?

Does the technology not exist to make this happen?

^^ this is the best way. There's many forums which have some sort of time-out or other glitch, which kills a wonderfully constructed post. So I use Notepad for my posts if I know its going to be a Wall of Text.

It's in the same technology bin used to remember a user's last read post in a thread.

I browse forums using different compters at work, at home and on various mobile devices.

The issue with these forums have been like it since release and no word of even acknowledgment from CCP about it, so presumably its a flaw in the forum software that they cant compensate for.

Until it is fixed though, I certainly wont ever make any effort to give feedback or type anything of substance, if CCP dont care, neither do i

Yeah, we could also hire someone each to write stuff for us and remember what we said. I just lost a post again, I am sorry but I am not going to use 4 programs to post in a thread. (unless I really want to) Fix Forums FFs.

You've never written a "wonderful post" in your life...

Drivel and whining...
