When just as you finish a long post... and you cut it from this box to spellcheck it...

YOUR %$^#ing COMPUTER RANDOMLY RESTARTS

Half a second before you paste it into word and save your progress?







Well that just happened to me.



I am furious. And there is nothing I can do about it.



*bangs head against wall over and over.*

I just write it all in word first. And save it as I go along. Though copy and pasting into TRF can be annoying as you can randomly lose words and gain extra spacing lines and such.

But that really really sucks, and I sympathize.

spel cheker? wft?

Yeah, I write everything in Word. I suck at remembering to save it, and thankfully Word autosaves. Word also caches shit, so, say you go a long time without saving, or open a new document and never save, and then crash, if you open Word when you restart, the stuff you lost pops up, ready to be saved. Word is the best thing a writer can spend money on, bar none.

You're all treating the symptom. The real thing we should be discussing is, why does Brutus' computer randomly restart?

I know I should write in word.

But for some, inexplicable reason I "write better" on the forum.

Yeah, I know, I'm crazy. But writing in word... seems harder to me. Its a mental thing, I guess, as I associate word with high school/college papers... and not rp, which I enjoy writing.

So, I run this risk.


The sad thing is, I remember how my post went- it just seems like sucha waste of time to re-write it. i want to have an easy button that make it come back written, so I have to do no work. Sadly this is not going to happen.

Tomorrow I will suck it up, and do it all over again.

Try changing word to a black background and white font. :)

I write to the forum generally, too... and I have this habit of hitting escape, which jumps me back to the previous page.


Write in word. ;)

Bad habbits are hard to habbit.

I use Word. I hate having to rewrite something especially if it's already finished.

Oh man...that sucks...

I feel your pain, I really do.

God knows how many posts during CoC were lost due to random computer restarts and other errors.

I learnt the hard way; Word and save, Word and save, its now my mantra...

...that and; 'no more commas, no more commas...

(I'm, still, working, on, that,)
