I give up😠

[PagingDrbumbrain]

I just sat for an hour putting all my results and stuff to ask for help from you guys.

Thumb slipped, .

All gone.

I'm done.

[ZippyAppletush]

I’m gutted for you...so frustrating, but please don’t go from here! I’m not an admin but if you’ll try again one of them will be along to help. Hoping it works for you. 🤞🏻

[Caroline888]

That's happened to me, more than once😢. But please do persevere. The help you get from the lovely people on this site will certainly make it worth the effort.

Best wishes

Caroline

That's happened to me so many times. The language I've used..... I now write my posts and even some replies in a word document first.

Have a night's sleep and try again tomorrow?

What ShinyB said.

I've lost count the amount of times that I have painstakingly written some diatribe to put on the interweb, for it to disappear forever into a cyber black hole!

I LOVE your username by the way, really made me smile.

Ctrl x usually restores on a computer.

[ShinyB in reply to mistydog]

I never knew that! Will try that next time

[LAHs]

Seconded, What ShinyB said. If it's more than a couple of minutes worth or contains stuff you just took 10 minutes to look up or get all your results tabulated - do it in "Word" first. So sorry for you, been there, done that!

Hits more than annoying isn't it but please keep trying. Can you pick out your main problem and post that and then take it from there so will be shorter should you lose it again. The danger is that you may want to give up but if you are here you have a problem so try to break it down a bit and see if that helps you. Ok we may then ask more questions but at least you will have made a start and hopefully we can give you pointers. (I've always thought I should do a word Doc first just in case but I never do!).

Oh computers, every one should have two computers. One to work on and another to smash up with a hammer when stuff like this happens.

Next time - put it on word and then copy/paste into here. At least you'd have a standby ready (hopefully not required).

[Fruitandnutcase]

Tell me! So annoying. I try to remember to write it on notepad then cut and paste. Well I try to remember but sometimes I just forget. Don’t give up though. It’s worth it.

[Ellie-Louise]

I send myself an email because I’m on my iPad more than my lappie, and then copy/paste from that.

That way you can always put it into your drafts halfway through if you want a break.

If it’s results - take a photo (black out hospital number etc) and post on here.
