What is your forum posting way?

What is your forum posting way?  Hmmmmmm.........I am not sure whether my topic title describes what I really mean well.

 

Here it is.

 

Sometimes, when I am going to post a lot of text & hyperlinks & images, I first write them all in my WYSIWYG editor, then save drafts during updating and editing.  Then copy it and paste it in the actual forum new post text area and submit.  I think this way is somehow more convenient to me.

 

Long time ago when I tried to post something long at MFG forum, I just typed everything on-the-fly in their forum new post text area.  Then when I clicked on the submit button, their web server went down at the same time.  I tried to go back and refresh my typed post content but found it was gone without a trace.  So, since then I trained myself to use some other forum posting way like the one I mentioned above.

I did use drafts for long posts, like collection post. Accident was happened once when i updated a certain collection (Touhou), and made half of the page gone so i had to re-build it again.

I never made any long post lol. I just edit them in the topic creator or whatever it is called.

I post a little and hit preview to save my place. Then I posst more and repeat until I'm done.

For a long post I usually highlight the post and then right-click and do a copy.  Then I click on the 'post/submit' button and that way if the connection breaks or whatever, I can do a 'ctrl-v' paste if it goes haywire.

It never happened? Take a look at your website. It's all history lessons about "Who was Alexander the Great?"

I did a very long post with pics and colored text, check the Emulation section.

I never even visited the Emulation section. They confuse the hell out of me.

when I make collections.

 

I save it all to notepad, then edit it there, then post it back in the forum.

 

ONLY for big posts.

but small ones never.

 

especially since nowadays if you mess up you can go back and its still there.

 

LOVE THE INTERNET.
