[lazeerer]

Hey Guys,

Just wanted to let you all know something if you dint already.

I Hear this alot of times happening to people and it stinks.

I did not Discover this Or did i even know about this Until TJ "Tech_Junkie" Mentioned this in a Post about 1 week or so ago.:wave: Ive learn quit a few tips from him>

It Literally has Saved me Lots of frustration and Typing.

You know when you are in a PM or a Post or typing out a New thread and you get that Dang Message "brb Maintenance"<<< or whatever and you basically think you lost the whole Post and have to re-type it or your just to pissed off to re-type it again so then you redo it much shorter then the original.:scowl:

Well all you have to do if you are typing a PM/Post or whatever out and then the next screen that pops up is "brb Maintenance" If you Keep on hitting refresh when the site comes back your message will still be there.:wave:.

Ive used this 3 times this week.

Hope this Helps anyone out that dint know about this.

Thanks Mark.:beer:

Ah, thanks! My previous method was to type my PM into notepad the copy and paste it over to LPF.

I started to do that with New threads But not PMs. So I lost alot until now.:wave:

I feel like iam beating the system when i do this.

Some browsers will allow you to just click back, and will preserve your message.

After it happened 3-4 times I reverted to my college habit of ctrl+a, ctrl+c every paragraph or so. Plus since Avery started announcing maintenance more often than not, it hasn't happened to me again... did annoy the hell out of me in the past though a few times.
