The Principle Journey OoC ( For all players )

I was through the second draft ... and windows shit the bed ... I've posted the third draft. I'm going for a walk ... a rage walk.
Seriously, use the forum and almost copy paste your work into a document after every paragraph. The forum should have a draft that shouldn't go away even if you shut down the pc or device yer writing on, but just in case, save at intervals.

There are times when the auto-save draft function doesn't work. Using browsers in private session/incognito mode is one of these. The best alternative is as you said, copy the entire text and paste it onto a document, or even a simple notepad.

Didn't know that,but generally it's reliable. I would say that public computers like at your library are also a no go because they usually delete cookies automatically. But still, also have an email open or something to save yer work.

I just did the third draft in notepad and saved every so often. I'm not sure why it didn't save a draft in firefox, but it was blank when I restored the tab. The second time I had the post written out in notepad, but hadn't saved when I got the driver thread error.

It's just been an unfortunate day for computermagizing.
 
I hate how single minded I become when I start writing. I just wasted so much time writing a reply to our previous 4 person conversation
 
Yeah, sometimes the information doesn't save. That's why I make all my big posts in a private workshop thread. Then, I just post it, then edit it, then submit changes, then edit it, and repeat process until fully done. It's best to save each paragraph.

Wow that is just unlucky. Perhaps using more than a single back-up would be nice.

Thankfully I had the coding saved in a second document, so it was just the flavour-text that I had to redo ... twice ... but I was so happy with the first draft. She second one was rushed, and the third one ... is certainly a post.

I mostly do the coding in notepad, save, and then type out my actual post in another document. The crash was just ... a heartbreaker, I thought I had finally finished and them BAM, blue screen frowny face "windows needs new sheets" screen.

Yeah, I think the posts are saved online, which is why there's less error if your internet crashes. That's the only reason why I use the private threads instead of Microsoft word.
 
So old gents in book 1 chap 2 and newbies in book 2 chap 1?
There's noobies in both the east and north ic's.
:-_-lines: Don't even tempt fate at this point.
