pmwwwgtalkvForum | | Re: Whats this? (10th Jun 09 at 10:19am UTC) | | | That's a feature. It saves a copy of the message as you type it. If the message doesn't get posted then the next time you go to a post page it gives you the opportunity to restore that message (in case your browser or computer crashed while you were typing it). | |

pmwww | | Re: Whats this? (10th Jun 09 at 10:13pm UTC) | | Oh I see, but what if I did post it, and then when I click on it, it says the thread does not exist? (That showed once.)
But what if I did post it, and did not have a crash or a problem?
It shows that this has been recovered: http://support.virtualforums.co.uk/action/modify_post/board/opinions/draft/1 (If you can view it.) and I am done with the post? (meaning I don't need to edit it nor, post it.)
If I said that correctly.
edit:
Seeing as it shows that it does not exist, it's the thread about the problem with the expand option, the one you moved from bugs to coding. | |

pmwww | | Re: Whats this? (10th Jun 09 at 10:40pm UTC) | | | Ok I do understand that, but what if I did a successful post before my next post? I click on the link before that, and it opens up the same exact post I successfully posted? That's what I am trying to figure out. | |

I'm not sure I understand what you are saying. Could you try something which uses the word "post" a little less or at least distinguishes between them as I'm finding that impossible to follow. | |

pmwwwgtalkvForum | | Re: Whats this? (12th Jun 09 at 10:11pm UTC) | | | There's no way that should be possible when posting a new message. However a quick check has shown that it would have been an issue if you modified a post and then went to the posting page. That is now fixed. | |

Well anyways, thanks for clearing it up, I knew it was the draft feature, but did not understand why it went to a post that I had no problem with. | |
