So I just spent the last hour constructing a major post on how to gear out your new 70 mage. Had all these fancy links to the new Evoker’s Silk set, had a big arse discussion comparing various trinkets (including theorycraft!) and a comparison of Dreadweave and Silk honor gear; had a somewhat comprehensive list on beginner type tips and strategies of how to fight other classes…
Essentially a “Welcome to 70! Here’s a guide to get you started in PvP!” post.
Hit “Publish”, and was taken to the login screen. !BAM! Almost a full hour of work completely gone. Just like that. Only the first two sentences had been auto-saved. Apparently I was auto logged off right after that.
Attempts to go back resulted in POSTDATA errors.
Whelp.
I’ll redo the whole thing tomorrow. See you lurkers then.
Have you tried checking under Manage>Posts to see whether the autosave function worked? There ought to be a draft you can edit.
Hope that helps
It happened to me once with blogspot.. after that I no longer write longer posts online. I write em in Windows Live Writer or even word…. ^^
Sorry to hear that, its happened to me before as well. I am looking forward to the post though
Most likely these all will be written offline from here on out.
Yes, the autosave function worked. Kind of. I have the first two sentences…
Better than nothing, I guess!
I learned that the hard way through several years of intense forum posting : never compose something too long in the browser. Use notepad instead and save to desktop whenever possible.
