Friday Hangout. June 12th: Where's Bobby and the rest of his stuff?

You cannot blame anyone apart from yourself if you forget to submit again. It happens to me every day

Even now that I know it does it, it still confuses me sometimes so I just keep pressing until there is either two posts or I get a warning that my post does not contain enough characters - this is my confirmation.

For me as a developer, I think that sucks, but I will learn to live with that shit just like you all do.

The fact that we are even talking about it would make it a "BUG - log it on GitHub" in my world.

I've been caught out at times, but more so when it's busy. I just use my back button until I come across the post that didn't post. Then I resend it.

The "does not contain enough characters" is not a bug. It was put there to stop people writing "No" for example.

It's not a bug. I used to work in IT myself before I retired.

Oh I no it's not a bug mate, it's a feature. I use it all the time. Just to check. I spent about 2 hours writing a personal message to someone and lost the lot with a combination of key strokes!! Feck knows what I did but no amount of Cntl-Z, Undo, back, look at browsers history object, etc helped. I lost the lot.

I now use that handy clipboard feature in Windows 10 and just Cntl-A to select everything, Cntl-C to copy it into history and continue, if I need to go back the shortcut is Windows Key + V and it shows all the clipboard history. You may not want this if you have people living with you ;o) but I live alone so it is useful.
