wireless signal issues
 

Hi! Unfortuantely, I only have wireless access to tether to my laptop. I live in a terrible signal strength area... most of time.. only 1 bar showing on phone... I get engrossed in this forum... spending half an hour carefully typing up several paragraphs only to lose it all, because my signal went out ( like I was timed out or something) when I refresh (reload?) current page to re-log in, all my work is gone! I'm fairly new to computers ( talk to me like I'm 6) ... is there a way I can save my work before and during re-logging??? Help! Remember I'm 6 or maybe the new 2!

something weird is up. I went to an area of 2 to 3 bars strength, still lost my material.. this has not happened on other forums I belong to... ???????

Click the remember box next to the Login, might keep you signed in when your signal comes back. Otherwise, maybe just type your message in a text editor and copy and paste it over when your done.

You might want this addon if you use Firefox or this if you use Google Chrome. It will save the data you put into this form and will save you a lot of frustration and time.

Thank you Angmaar and Fast Plastic.. well said... can rest easier tonight because I did quick shot guns on the hyper driving section! Thanks, again!

It's been troubling ecomodder.com from time to time, you're not the only one to have suffered this.

When typing long text, I've made it a habit to select all of it and copy it to the clipboard.
It's only typing 2 keyboard-shortcuts, but saves a lot of hassle.

The add ons that I linked to above do those automatically so you don't even have to think about it.
