When you write a long detailed reply only to find the topic has been closed...

Copy your post, before clicking "Submit Comment", I started doing this after few times all I wrote just disappears because site is lagging and page doesn't load.

Its a trap! Don't tap more than 42 characters!!! OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOPPPPPPSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!

You should totally report his thread and have it re-opened.

Yes. This is somewhat irritating. Lazarus might help.

Yes indeed, I hate when that happens...

Yes. Hate that.

i did not even know that such a program existed

i have had that happen a couple time usually if i close a post i say it then wait a couple minutes but sometimes that is not even enough like you in your case it took a bit to reply

usually the forums i belong to only mods can close a forum and that was rare they would if it was not spam/breaking rules and well most now have a save feature that saves what you type though i guess that does not help when it is closed?

you could always copy and paste what you wrote into something like notepad in case something goes a miss you will have what you typed in case you needed it

And that's the story about how i lost my meant to be best-seller novel.
It was about arguing.

xD

This happens to me quite a bit. Another thing I get, occasionally, is when I accidentally hit the "Back" button on my mouse and it goes back a webpage, erasing everything in the process.

I feel you mate

It happened again! Don't ask for advice if you're going to just close your topic! GRRR!

Hmm, I have an old habit of copying long replies to the clipboard, just in case... But usually, by the time I reply to something it's already been answered better by someone else, so there's not much point. :) Oh well. :)

Aha, just caught myself doing control-a and control-c before I hit the "Submit Comment" button. :)

It's worse when you're chatting on the Steamgifts group chat during the trivia, and the moderator locks the chat.
I fucking hate trivia... ._.
