Being noticeably challenged as a computer-type guy, I frequently will write what I consider to be a literary masterpiece to be posted or "submitted" onto the forum.

In my haste to gaze fondly at my own words, I sometimes hit "new posts by date" instead of "submit" and my words of wisdom are apparently lost out into the ether. I have not found a way to correct that mistake unless I am willing to re-type the entire post. Is it possible it can be retrieved and I am not aware how?
 
I have done things like that a few times :hammer: so what I've started doing on replies longer than a few words is use Word to reply and then copy and paste the reply to the reply window. You can also hit Ctrl+A then ctrl+C once you're done writing and it'll copy the contents to clipboard. Then if you hit the wrong key, all you have to do is paste it back in the window and you're right back where you were. You do have to select and copy BEFORE you do something stupid for it to work. :-D
