Got half way thru a long post on hacks for DIY charging with USB-C
links
pics
breakdowns

Accidentally clicked one of my attachment hyperlinks
Pic opened
upon hitting "back" - submission lost :evil:

The data has to be cached on either my machine or on the server
Cant find it

Ideas welcome

Meh - over it
Intent was to break down existing USB-C articles to just what is needed to leverage the charging.

Its covered other places but in a more complicated way than nessesary

I think if you haven't clicked on the "preview" button, than there is also nothing saved in the cache.

Recently same thing happened myself, but despite the fact i did a preview of the post i was not able to recover the text from the browser history.
I remember that when i was using mozilla firefox it was possible to restore the history in html form, and somewhere in this 50 pages long html text i was able to find the lost post.

good luck
 
Good point
I will make a habit of pressing PreView more often
Thanks,

(usually I do... Unless I get off on a real speed-typing rAnT :eek: )

I used to develop in word and then copy and paste...
Too many artifacts popped up (invisible characters - at least with my blog)

Ended up having to go from word to notepad (to strip all but base ASCII)
Then notepad to webform

Hmmmm... k bye
