Saving a post

Thanks all. Just a thought that there might be a 'secret' that I was missing. As I am usually on my Ipad, I don't have a Word document facility to paste into. Will try to be more organised in future.

You'd have to copy and paste it into a Word document (or similar). There is no facility for saving posts on the site itself.

If I am writing a long post, email etc. having lost them halfway through so often, I usually write them in a word processor then cut/paste when done.

There isn't one. I usually just open up another tab to go looking for other stuff then come back to the original to finish it.

I do not think so, none that I have found. If you do not finish and post you will lose it as you have discovered.
