You know what I f@#$ing f@#$ing hate so much? Do ya? I f@#$ing hate it when I'm typing up a story and I'm logged in, and I click on the post button and it logs me out and I have to log in and I wind up losing the story anyways. I f@#$ing hate that sh@$! I just finished up Rain Rain go Away nicely, it was lovely, I liked it. I clicked on post and it sent me to that you ain't logged in screen. So I logged in and it sent me to a page with my story but there was nowhere to go. No options to click on so I clicked the back option and the finish to my story was lost. I don't really feel like going back and finishing the story cuz now I'm totally pissed. This has happened to me several times and I'm really starting to get mad. It should be easy enough to fix, quit logging me out while I'm doing stuff. I had the ending just how I wanted and now...!

A) Use a word processor to create stories, not WF.com.
B) Utilize the 'Remember me' feature.
C) Copy your post (Ctrl C) before hitting submit just in case--most especially if you've taken some time to complete said post.

Tough break on losing your story ending.

Ouch, that is tough. But I have to agree with valeca, WF.com isn't really the idea medium for writing your stories. It's a shame, but it happens to all of us. I've lost about 20 pages of a novel before. I could have cried. In fact, I think I did.

Strange... everytime that happens to me, and I log back in, my thread is posted.

Are you sure you're just not angry at your computer
