A problem that I noticed in the past, which I thought was just a fluke, has reappeared and I have tested it several times now and see that it is an inherent problem that I am seeking a solution to.
Case in point... I had written a long technical reply to a thread on one of the forums and then I had to get some data from a hiking site I was describing. So I opened my favorites, and went to the site I referenced, got the data I needed and then clicked the back button to return to my message.
Guess what! No text in the message. All I had written to that point was GONE! Just an empty box in "Message." I had to start from scratch. Seems like the only work-around is to highlight and copy the text, and only then do the web research, then when you come back to the (now) empty forum reply page, paste the text back in.
Is this my problem or a VFTT problem or an MS IE problem? Maybe I just don't have some settings right.
I could use some enlightenment. TIA.
