Hi Friends,
From time to time, when I'm reading through the forum, I'll see messages that I'm sure I had already replied to. Usually, I eventually remember that I had forgotten to click Submit button. But in this recent topic: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=12372 I'm positive that I had replied to that one, and that I saw it posted, when druban replied to it later. But now it's not there.

What could have happened?

Thanks

That would be a pretty serious bug, so I wouldn't assume there is a problem. Having said that, I've heard other complain that they accidentally click "save" instead of "submit". I've done this myself and not realised I didn't post.

I haven't used "save" for a while, but I assume you won't see your message in the thread after you've submitted. You might be able to use this to give some confidence about if you've posted. You should be able to use your browser back button to go back and submit the message without having to retype it.

I'm pretty sure I saw the message actually posted, between the op and druban's. I had answered it, gone to answer several more messages, and then saw it had received another reply. So I went to read it, which was from druban. I don't know, maybe it was a dream. But that's awfully specific info for a dream. I remember thinking that druban said the same thing I did, but with fewer words. And that my message contained some comments about the root layer, that druban's didn't. I had even downloaded the file and looked at it, before posting a reply. I could almost re-write the message from memory.

If I had accidentally save it, where would I find it?

Edit
Ok, I just tried saving a message. You have click a Yes/No afterwards, and I definitely don't remember that. I went to that topic to try and find any potentially save message. I don't see any indication. I typed "test" in a new reply, and clicked Save, then Yes. But I'm still not finding it.... Oooh, ok -- there's a new Load button in the full editor, just to left of Save, if I click to make another reply. That Load button did not appear when I made the test Saved message. So I don't think I could have saved my first reply.

Oh well, I guess nothing could be done about it. Hopefully if there's a bug, it will happen again, in some topic where other people witness it.

Thanks microUgly
