EE page losing connecction

It happens to everyone I know of.  I have made it a habit to save what ever I am writing every so often,  especially articles.

I think it affects us at various occasions. I have had this issue once or twice but not nearly as frequently as some people report.

For short posts, I grin and bear it. For long posts and articles, I compose in a text editor or word processor.

Hi,

So I guess there is no hope for me of getting it back, right?

Thanks,

I compose in a text editor or word processor.

The problem is that I use embedded tags like quote and bold very often, any alternative that will be recognized when I paste it back at the EE site?

Any time I have lost connection (not frequently, really), I have lost my post.

I have the same experiences as John.  It seems to be especially true if you use anything other than straight text.

Hi,

It seems to be especially true if you use anything other than straight text.

You mean to say that the tags used within the text are causing it?
I would not say so, as many times I am just reading stuff and have many tabs of EE open, and then suddenly all is gone, like in attached example.

FYI- It wasn't always like this, I guess someone must let EE know how badly this is affecting users, and they should let us know when site is going thru maintenance..

Thanks,

Tags sometimes cause it.  Especially when I write articles I compose in a word processor or on my wordpress blog, because just navigating around a document with numbering on EE or bullet points, when you are writing, can cause a crash or just your iteration of EE to disconnect making one lose everything.  After losing a couple of hours worth of work, I learned my lesson.  Many of us have informed the powers that be at EE of this problem.

@Thomas,

Actually I just finished re-write all my notes I had ready to post yesterday & bingo, it just happened again, luckily this time I was constantly saving it to word, so 80% of my work got recovered..that brings me to believe what you're saying that its also depending on what yu type to cause that to happen.

However still wondering why when this happens to one tab, all other tabs connected to EE get lost?

Thanks,
Ben

@Thomas, @John,

OK I am about to finalize this..just wondering if you have an answer for the question above, is there an alternative editor that will handle the tags, so I dont have to switch programs while typing all the time?

Thanks,
Ben
