So frustrating to lose a thread before posting 😩

AHH, that's so annoying. I've noticed recently, after a long departure from FB, that they've changed their posting ability too and if you try to make the box bigger to check what you've written , it disappears. Thankfully I rarely go on there or post. It's full of stupid adverts now which are exceptionally annoying and irrelevant.

add links/photos in next posting.
then less likely to lose everything.
trying to do too much in one operation.

break it up.
separate postings.

I do that too, Marydoll. It is frustrating when you lose a post (in my case usually because I wander off to google a fact and forget that my post won’t save automatically).

send shorter ones.

I keep copying, as I type, then you have save most of it, if it disappears!

Sorry Fairycakes. Thought I'd at least answer this post otherwise you might feel doubly fed up!

It has happened so many times before and it's just happened again. I wrote out a long thread to post, had just finished and wanted to add a photo and the phone froze. I ended up losing everything I had written. How frustrating 😀
