I just spent a *long* time writing all about cell phone options.  I started last night and finished this morning.  Apparently I was logged off overnight.  So, when I clicked the save button, it asked me to log in.  When I logged in, it wiped my whole entry.  I don't know of any way to get it back.

If this is how Drupal works, if this is normal functionality, I'm not impressed.  If someone knows how to prevent this from happening, or what I could have done differently, please let me know. This sucks.

This has happened to me too many times in too many web applications to be surprised. I always use a desktop tool and/or compose in a text editor for longer posts. What can I say? It sucks...the first thing I do when *anything* happens after a submit/whatever that I'm not expecting, I hit the "back" button and copy/paste the entry...just in case. Yeah, I know that doesn't help at this point. Can I interest you in a pet monkey?
yeah

It happens to me too. I know Qumana can help with this type of thing and I usually do open a desktop text editor of some sort. The thing is the links- creating hyerlinks using the WYSIWYG thingy is helpful. Lesson learned I suppose.
