Why does this happen to me :( by Sammacha

This is about the third time this has happened to me today.
Earlier today I wrote a journal, a mid length and somewhat meaningful ( to me ) journal, only to have weasyl give me an error.
The opps thing
I push the go back button and all is lost.
Why doesn't it save what I have written? I think it hates me, it always does this when I have a something good to say :(
Then I have to re-type in a lazy way because I am annoyed or just forget it ( ive picked this more then once)

Does this happen to anyone else? Just me?
Damn, this error makes me want to just leave weasyl and find a new home sads

Why does this happen to me :(

    Has always saved my text in these situations for me. :/ Could be the browser you're using. I also haven't seen this Oops error, though I've heard about it before. Regardless, I always always always write out anything even marginally important out in a text document. Always. It has saved me a lot of lost time over the years, you should try this if you haven't already.

      Well I almost never write anything. Sometimes it saves it, sometimes it does not. Maybe its chrome, it doesn't like me either. I dont feel that I should have to type it in word first, it should just, work? Or maybe its a sign that I shouldnt post my questions or thoughts :U

        It's just a safeguard is all, an extra step to protect my already limited time and resources; as I said, it has served me well. Things seem to not work when it's least convenient, it's just a fact of life. I'll test on Chrome tomorrow, my laptop only has Firefox.

        Also no it's not a sign, hush.

          I dont have a program to type it on using this device. So if that has to be done, I can never post a journal again :O

    sends sympathetic patting due to lack of words but presence of sympathy

      Lol, thank you

    copy everything before you post, if it gives error, simply go back, and paste everything back

      I've done that before, but usually after its happened and I am re typing it. Its an after thought, don't feel like I should have to do it :/
      And thus reason I never do

    Weird, I've never had that happen before. But like Rory said, it's always good to have it written out say in notepad or copy it before submitting. I don't do that as often as I should, but for anything big in length I will.

    But dang, 3 times. :(

      Its just plain annoying really, and its an actual technical issue. I understand typing it elsewhere but really shouldn't have too.
      Lol I know! Its the last straw so I quit and want to know if it happens to other people.
      I also dont have anywhere else to type it, i guess my blog, but then I dont have a reason to post it here :/

    From my experience, opera nearly always saves all the texts in such occasions, at least older versions do that I use (pre chrome merger).

      Stupid chrome. lol.

    I've had this happen to me more than a few times on different sites. So I now make it a habit to copy my text before clicking send or submit that way I can just paste whatever I wrote and try again.

      Ok, well at least I am not the only person that this happens to. Frustrating ...

      • Link

        It is really frustrating. One of the only good updates that deviantart has put out this year was the auto saving journal entries..I think all websites should have this

        • Link

          I agree, they really should.

  • Link

    I just don't write anything with substance, that way I can't be sad if it deletes!

    In all seriousness, that does suck though, I have had it happen, but not on here.

    • Link

      Yeah thats true, I hardly ever right anything worth crying over, but damn, its just annoying when I do lol
