 Yep the "eating posts" problem seems to be getting quite common, any ideas metlslime?
it allways works fine for me, BTW.
actually, looking above seems like RPG [maybe?] already has the answer??
Also i wonder if its something to do with the length of the post, seems to only happen to people on long posts??
Yes, It Does Have To Do With Long Posts #95 posted by R.P.G. on 2003/04/22 18:43:23 Longer posts mean that it's more likely that you're going to use apostrophes.
RPG haha ;)
That kind of logic could get you in trouble.
Use Mozilla #97 posted by pushplay on 2003/04/22 23:14:01 Moz just doesn't take me to another page when my post has 's, so I just keeping hunting them down and changing them.
IE Works Too #98 posted by metlslime on 2003/04/22 23:29:26 for me at least.
Nt #99 posted by bascule on 2003/04/23 05:33:24 this doesn't work
Oh! #100 posted by bascule on 2003/04/23 05:33:44 yes it does
Test #101 posted by daftpunk on 2003/04/23 17:57:47 oi, why can YOU post apostrophes. i cant.
fuck that!
Try Using.. #102 posted by GibFest on 2003/04/23 18:04:13 the console key next to the number 1 on your keyboard.
can`t | won`t | isn`t | i`m
Or Do Like This: #103 posted by R.P.G. on 2003/04/23 18:12:19 Use this instead, but remove the space: '
Read up a bit to see that trick.
Err, Right #104 posted by R.P.G. on 2003/04/23 18:12:50 Use BACKSLASH then APOSTROPHE with no spaces.
Escape Your Apostrophe #105 posted by pushplay on 2003/04/23 18:24:33 Apostrophe: \'
Backslash: \\
Ah #106 posted by Wazat on 2003/04/23 18:41:06 Try a backslash before each apostrophy.
The reason the "messageboard eating posts" thing is such a problem is related to the apostrophy, yes. The killer comes when you push back and the text box is empty...
Ah, Yes #107 posted by Wazat on 2003/04/23 18:42:09 Pushplay and company beat me to it while I was fighting the dns error myself. :)
Why #108 posted by pushplay on 2003/04/23 19:02:08 ...does IE empty out a text box when you leave a page? That's stupid.
Heh #109 posted by Kell on 2003/04/23 19:03:34 Now there's irony for ya
btw, if you phear losing your carefully typed out post to the evile backbutton, try typing it out in notepad first :P
Or... #110 posted by Abyss on 2003/04/23 19:16:43 just right click, select all/copy, but for me it's always there when I hit the back button
Nope #111 posted by daftpunk on 2003/04/24 07:57:27 i never lose the typing. have done in other sites tho (like when typing cvs (resumes) online.
notepad is a sensible thing to do
Yea #112 posted by Wazat on 2003/04/24 14:53:13 notepad also allows you to search for all apostrophes and replace them with `
I usually copy the message into the buffer before clicking post.
Hm.. #113 posted by necros on 2003/04/24 19:40:10 the `eating` is strange...
usually, when i press the back button, the text is still in the textbox, but sometimes, (seemingly at random?) the text is gone -- eaten.
oh well, just gotta remember to use `...
Ehm #114 posted by daftpunk on 2003/04/25 07:19:22 for how long tho?..
