Q
The OP for this thread seems to have disappeared.
I see what you’re doing, Quasi. This relates to that thread where you said that by hitting a key inadvertently, the whole post disappears? I’ve had that problem too, and, after experimentation, I think it’s the space bar.
The concensus seems to be it’s the space bar , but as I am typing I am purposely strinkg the space ba r even in the middle of a w ord.
Maybe th e space bar in conjunction with another key?
I have pretty big hands, so maybe, in a huwge g ege hurry to posT aomethijng, I have hit on some kinfd i ewo m M YMYM of weird combination which erases my posts?
Being that I have dementia, I KNOW y’all have to take what I write with a bag full of salt, but this really DOES happen, and I lose what I wrote and have to recreate it.
All that gibberish above was intentional, by the way.
Must be one of those conundrums wrapped in an enema, is all I can figger!
Thanks
Q
It would be CTRL-A then spacebar, if spacebar is involved.
That would select all the text, and then replace it with a space.
Oh, and CTRL-Z should rescue your post.
ETA: And now you’ve got me double spacing! 
Are you using the “Quick Reply” or the “Reply With Quote”?
If it’s the “Reply With Quote” which “Message Editor Interface” are you using; “Basic Editor”, “Standard Editor” or “Enhanced Interface”? (That’s all in your “User Control Panel” > “Your Control Panel” > “Settings & Options” > “Edit Options”.)
The Standard and the Enhanced have an “Undo” and “Redo” button on the top right of the message reply box. I just tested it and after deleting the whole post the “Undo” did just that un-deleted my post.
Also what BigT said! :smack:
CMC fnord!
The other, much clunkier solution is to save the post regularly and/or write the bulk of the post with Notepad and just use the reply box with the “Preview Post” button to check your coding etc.
Day-um. I never noticed those before. Thanks!
