I just vainly attempted to try to post to a different thread 4x!

Betting this takes another 4x.

First try!

I give up.

One of the reasons why I "live post" my threads a single thought at a time with a single photograph per post.

HI Llewelyn, does that save the thread?

It's just the shortcut for "copy" if you highlight the text. That way you if you need to re-open the window you can paste what you were typing back in. It's the same as for a windows user using the copy and paste functions. Apple+v is the paste shortcut.

Haha! Wise words from the leisure-suit wearing man! I feel your pain - This has happened to me so many times! I Apple+C everytime I post a long-ish thread now without even thinking about it!

Was making a thread for the workbench, a lot of photos and desciptions, edit and upload photos 1 hour, nearly finished the thread, total 2 huors, and then the famous window, Firefox not responding, DO NOT SHOT DOWN YOUR COMPUTER WE ARE TRYING TO RECOVER YOUR WORKS NOT SAVED.

Or something like that.

I HATE COMPUTERS, imaging, sitting in your car, driving, in front of you 2 semitrailers is crashing, you hit the brake and in your display you get the message, CLOSE ALL WINDOWS, DO NOT TURN OF YOUR ENGINE, WINDOWS IS TRYING TO RECOVER YOUR BRAKING ABILITY.

I dont give up and I dont go away, tomorrow I will give it another try.
