Walt, sorry it took so long to respond to this.
We have a lot of neat features on this upgraded version of Vbulletin.

One of them is the Auto Save

I Auto Save -- Saving long posts in case your Browser crashes:

1. if you are typing a long post, every minute or so you will see a vanishing message pop up under the right bottom frame of your posting window, near where it is shaded grey.
2. It will look something like this:
Auto-Saved

3. This will be highlighted in yellow, and only appears for a few seconds before vanishing.
4. Should your browser somehow crash, or this site does not refresh as you post, you did not necessarily lose your post.
5. Refresh first.....if somehow your post was lost.
6. If the screen freezes up you may have no choice but to reboot and sign in again.
7. As you log in again, go to the previous forum where you were posting.
8. You should see a similar window as the Auto-Save that you previously noticed.
9 This time, it will be in the bottom left hand side. Near to the grey part of your posting window.

10. It will ask you "Restore Auto-Saved Content?"
When you see that you need to bring your cursor over to it, and click on it quickly, before it fades away. Clicking on it should restore your content from last session.



II Fool-Proof way not to lose Content or your Post:
1. If you type a long post, it can seem impossible to re-construct it again if for some reason your browser or a site crashes before you hit the "submit Reply" button.
2. Therefore, I have gotten into the habit, whenever I have a long post, (which is almost always )...to use the left mouse button to highlight the whole post.
3. Start at the top and scroll down all the way to the bottom, highlighting everything.
4. If you are not sure how to do this, practice with a small post first. It gets easier over time.
5. Then, you use your right mouse button, to hit the choice "Copy"
6 This saves your text in memory, and will allow you to post it again, even if it is lost.

** Also.....If you want to Cut and Paste, you follow the above steps, using the "Cut" choice on the drop down menu after right clicking your mouse.






Hope this helps, Walt, and makes things a little easier on ya!
