Forum:Fed up

Just spent an hour creating a 500-word article on the Sobel Wiki, and when I previewed it, the article disappeared. I've had it with this stupid site. There are just too many bugs. No more. Johnny Pez 13:22, June 3, 2011 (UTC)


 * Wikia wasn't down, so normally just pressing the back button would have given you the page with all your text still there. -- Zombie talk • blog 16:20, June 3, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yeah and posting this type of forum won't help you. This will only show how much maturity you have.


 * It would be interesting to know if you were using the Rich-text editor or the Source editor. -- Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 4 Jun 2011 12:34 AM Pacific

 * Source mode FTW. ^.^ Rich Text Editor is the buggy one.


 * I don't think there's a preview button in RTE mode? - Tjcool007 (Talk / Contribs) 09:10, June 4, 2011 (UTC)

There's a preview mode. ^.^ Bermuda  Contact Me!  09:11, June 4, 2011 (UTC)

Yes there is a preview button but as Bermuda said RTE is very buggy. Source mode is far better.


 * RTE sucks hard don't use it, until now I'm still wondering why that useless feature was even released.

 * Honestly, I think he must have had a slow connection. When I have a slow connection, the same thing happens to me.  It gets me mad, but using Firefox, it can resend any information, so it is retained.  DaRanger  ( Chat With Me ) 12:41, June 4, 2011 (UTC)

My best recommendation, is although he might have a buggy connection or using RTE where it's just... odd, but my recommendation is to write so much, and then copy it and paste it into notepad, or anther text saving add-on to your computer, and if the page on the wiki loses what you wrote, you'll still have it in notepad. 12:55, June 4, 2011 (UTC)


 * I guess Johnny Pez was so fed up he never came back to look at his post.
 * Anyway, saving an unfinished edit is fine if you put a decent edit summary. Then you can just do a series of saves as you build up a long edit. I've seen some versions of MediaWiki wikis where they even have a Save and Edit button so you can easily continue editing a long change. -- Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 6 Jun 2011 1:45 PM Pacific
