What have they done to my draft?

Post by Lilith »

Aaaagggghhhh!

I like to write a draft sometimes to consider later and edit, and I wrote a page of DEATHLESS PROSE and saved it. A message came up to ask me if I was a robot and I ticked the box that said I wasn't, and ticked the box to save me draft - and it's GONE! :o :shock: :x :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

Arrrgh GRRRRRRR!

I just lost me draft! :shock: :cry:

Distraught!

Hi Lilith, sorry about that! the reason this may have happened is due to extra security protection which has been put in place recently. The Captcha has also appeared for myself and other moderators. The good news is that there are things which can be done if it becomes a problem, so we are taking note and looking into it.

I had the same problem yesterday, I found where it had saved it but couldn't figure out how to post it. I also get the captcha when using mobile data

I always find it better to write/ edit my posts in Notepad or something similar, and then copy/ paste it into the forum (this or any other forum).

Hello, (and apologies to Lilith for the loss of your draft!!!)

As Jane has said, this is due to some extra security we added to the site (not just the forum) last week. I've just posted a new thread to explain more if anyone is interested: ( "I am not a Robot" CAPTCHA/ Challenges! )

This extra protection was very necessary to protect the site from the large number of hackers out there trying it on (!!) but if this becomes too big a problem for forum posting, please post here. As Jane said, there are things we can tweak if necessary.

Cheers!
Yogi (& his human helpers)

:lol: Sorry Alice, sorry guys, but the draft seems to have gone feral ... in the rich jungle of my subconscious ... :o :shock:

It doesn't look like it's going to come prowling back any time soon ... :roll: :lol:
