Now i'm mad!!! Remove this text

I had a great post (about 3 pages) typed up about Mu, an ancient theoretical lost continent in the Pacific Ocean. I spent a LONG TIME gathering research for it and writing it up. I made my last post at (which was a perfectly good, acceptable post) at 20:03, and it's now 4:03. So I hit the submit button. Apparently this board also counts the seconds, so it told me that I needed to wait 8 hours between posts, and then it DELETED THE POST! Enough already! Can't you see that this whole thing about having to wait before you can post a thread only hurts the legitimate posters? 5 minutes is more than enough for flood control purposes, but your blasted 8 hour restriction ERASED my brilliant post! DO SOMETHING ABOUT THESE INSANE RULES!!!!!!!!

Squid,

Never, never do that. You don't type an essay directly into a textbox. If something happens you ain't getting it back. Just remember, Windoze crashes for no reason.

Probably a silly question but ...

Didn't the "BACK" button get the text back for you ?

GS,
Flood control aside, NEVER DO THAT! Urban Ranger is right. I always type up my posts in notepad and then copy them into the box, and if the post is really big, MS Word (for the autosave capability in case of crash).

When I pressed the back button, all the fields were blank.

Come on! Stop blaming it on me! This is supposed to be an anti-thread-rule thread, for goodness sakes!

Next time, just select-copy your post before submitting. So you can always paste it if it goes wrong.

Just one more thing: Why do you have The God attached to your name, Squid? All the gods I've ever heard of never had to stress their divinity like that. Celestion should suffice IMO.

Ha ha.

Cel-squid,

It's just charma. Apolyton is punishing you for invading CTP OT as a nubile neophyte newbie who loves Agnew quotes.

Celestion, you mean your divine abilities aren't enough to get your post back? Maybe you aren't a real god after all. Maybe you are a FALSE GOD!!!!!

Squid,

I think Markos is trying to change the limit to 3 new topics a day. So I guess we'll just have to be patient.

That is not specifically prohibited in the God Code, as it was written 73 eons before fora existed.

Isn't there some sort of "thou shalt not whine" clause?
