this TOTALLY sucks!

Honestly: no.
Sorry that this costed you so much.
However, I type my stories offline in a word processor (i.E. Word) for ease of typing and save it...so when something like that would happen, I would just have to copy&paste the story out of word again. Perhaps you should do that, too.

I agree with FF. I'd hate to lose work and it gives me the opportunity to read, re-read and correct before posting.
Some of you will remember my complete balls-up when I posted too soon.

Yes, that's the best way. Create a document in the format of your choice, work on your long post until it's done (and spell-checked), and then make the post by copying and pasting.
I love bondage, tickling, and women's bare feet. :D

It did that with my story. All I had to do was go back a page, and the whole thing was still there.
I love a woman bound and gagged in tape.

So why don't you try posting it again? What have you got to lose? If an admin had removed it, you'd probably know it by this time; it may have been an accident otherwise.

I did post it. It was my story "What Are Friends For?" and I'd thought I'd lost it, but I clicked on the back button, and it was all there, so I clicked post.

Oops! I got mixed up. I thought it was Pantygagger who wrote this bit. Sorry. :oops:
But it is an excellent point a couple of others made earlier. I ALWAYS type any lengthy post (my tugstories especially) on an Office word document first and save it on my computer so it cannot be lost. It's only short, throwaway replies like this that I type straight into the post a reply boxes here.

All this sounds more interesting to me than ever. If you have ever read any of my own tug stories you'll get what I mean. And I am just getting started with them!
Personally I wish you'd try writing your story again, Pantygagger. I know what you mean about how it is not the same the second time; I lost some books I'd written in a computer crash a few years ago (now EVERYTHING is backed up on MULTIPLE external drives) and sometimes they weren't as good as before, but there were far better than nothing. And maybe you can make it a better story the second time; this has happened with me too. Just make sure to write it on your computer first and post it when done; that way it will be lots harder to lose if you save to your own files.

Dude this happens to me all the time!!!! that's why it took me sooo long to type my last story, because i would type about two pages, then when i was ready to save or send, it would delete my progress because it needed me to log back in. I try to hit back but it is already gone.

I feel ur pain man. Happens to me everytime i write a story on this site.
Anybody want to talk about bondage or my experiences i would love to talk, PM me.
You talk too much, but I know how to fix that! :mrgreen:

I can only repeat myself...type larger postings (including stories) not directly into the interface but into a text processor of your choice. This saves you a lot of trouble and anger- on each forum, not only here.

If you have a google account you should try Google Docs. It's on line, it's safe, you can get to it from any computer and it's FREE! (my favorite price!) When you are ready to post to the board just copy and paste, and you are done.
