I don't know what the FUCK I just did.. but I just lost a long ass post I was working on because I somehow navigated away from this page. I hate this shit -.- I want to cry cause I don't want to retype all that *cries*
This has bitten me too. On the rare instances that I know I'm going to write a long post, I usually just do it in a text file, then copy-paste it into LJ when I'm ready.
Live journal is supposed to auto save drafts now... have you tried to restore it from a draft? It's worth a try just in case LJ caught it before you navigated away from the page.
I immediately hit the back button to return to my page.. and it didn't ask me if I wanted to restore. And I don't know of any way to pull that up on my own. I looked @.@
Sucky! I don't really know how to do it either. I just remember one time I started a post at work, and then emailed it to myself because I didn't get it finished and when I got home and went to post it, it asked me to restore from a draft and I didn't even realize that I had saved it somehow O.o Maybe it only does it when you close the browser though or something? :(
Nice thing about Firefox is, usually if you hit the back button fast enough, your post is still there. I've saved more RP posts that I would have horribly mourned the loss of that way than I can even count.
The next time something like that happens, consider closing the window, then reopening LJ and attempting to post in a new session (or tab). It should definitely ask if you want to restore from a saved draft. Try a practice one.
