Akinomaki 40,814 Posted October 21, 2016 The editor either lost its initial reliability in regard to preserving the draft of a post or I simply hadn't encountered those bugs before. I lost both part of a post recently and now one big post was destroyed completely - I'm sure the bug sits in the multi-quote, since others have problems with it as well. It's too tedious to recreate the whole situation in the Kasugayama thread and I can't test there, but maybe I can still pinpoint the bug. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Akinomaki 40,814 Posted October 21, 2016 (edited) The loss appears when a 2nd forum tab is open in the same thread on the last page, while the post gets sent on the 1st page. Otherwise the post is maybe safe. But the amount of quotes and the way I arranged them may have some influence: the loss doesn't appear so far, there was much more messing around in the 1st post. 35 minutes ago, Akinomaki said: List of language families From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia This List of language families also includes language isolates, unclassified languages and other types of languages. 36 minutes ago, Akinomaki said: The editor either lost its initial reliability in regard to preserving the draft of a post or I simply hadn't encountered those bugs before.
