I just spent an hour writing a detailed Control Panel but accidentally erased it.
I’d recommend getting software (no idea which) that will save data automatically every 3-4 minutes. That way, your time writing would be more productive.

For long posts I tend to compose them in my Hotmail account, which does the auto save to draft. Then I simply copy and paste into TMF when I am happy with it.
I also email snippets of posts I want to keep into an email to myself, so I don’t have to deal with the non-functioning search function here.
Hotmail is free, and you can use it this way even if you don’t want it for emailing.

Wendy, (and everybody else) quite often if you accidentally erase a page you can get it back by tapping the back arrow on your keyboard until you get back to it.

Yah. Me too.
I’d like to add that there’s a “forward” arrow, and a few times, that has retrieved a lost page for me.
On my android, the forward arrow is at the top right of the window, buried under the vertical, 3-dot ellipse.
And, I use the “preview message” link (below this field), to “save” the latest version of a post. Then “edit message”, make changes, then “preview message”… repeat. If I lose the page, I click the back arrow to retrieve a previous version.

I suspect that the owner of hotmail (MSFT) stores every keystroke and uses that information in various ways (“big data”). I prefer using something local instead - textedit, wordpad, Word, of any one of hundreds of free text editors (notepad++ is pretty good) out there.
