Is there anyway to find that partially finished post? Or, rather, mostly finished,, :(

Hi, this has happened to me when I hadn't noticed the battery was low. My laptop puts anything I am working on into my drafts folder. Worth having a look. Good luck

thanks for your reply yorkshirerose - while I know this works for my Yahoo email, go to drafts for an unfinished version for what ever reason it wasn't finished - but, for HealthUnlocked, I know of no Draft folder - wouldn't HUL be of its own separate entity like Yahoo Mail? Where would I go?

Thanks in advance!!

You can avoid this maddening phenomena by pre-preparing your post in your usual word processing programme (which of course you have set to save every 30 seconds?) then copy and paste into the open HU box, which is in the cloud.

I do this with all long submissions which require a lot of polishing/formatting etc etc.

Thanks for your reply - I do that with emails - don't know why I didn't think to do the same here... you have an interesting name - I understood it once I read one of your longer posts on how long it has been since your survivorship (is that a word - is that what you would call it) or maybe just long survival? Anyway, I get it and good for you - I should and hopefully will be so lucky! :)
