I sat down to write a review this morning and something happened causing the review to disappear while I was writing it and I could not get it back. I was at least twenty minutes into writing it and I seem to have lost everything maybe the webmaster could add a save feature so that this does not happen again. Im sure that this has happened to some of you guys as well . If anybody has a suggestion about this problem I would appreciate feedback. It was kind of upsetting now I need to write this review all over again and I wont have time till tonite or tomorrow.
Too bad that you lost your work, but there should be no need for this site to add a save function that hardly any other websites include.
With any lengthy post, I use the save feature that all computers ship with. On a Mac it's called TextEdit. I either use it to write, or copy and paste to it as I go.
I avoid 20 minute reviews. Most people are only good for a couple paragraphs before their eyes glaze over and they quit reading. I've yet to read an entire SJG soliliquey.
Yeah; if you have a PC it's best to write it off-line and save your work every 5 minutes and then copy and paste onto TUSCL - just using the “Crtrl + s” keys is a quick way to save a document (i.e. press and hold the “Cntrl” key and then press the 's' key).
I normally use Word and don't recall any issues when copying to TUSCL (I think there were issues in the past) - Notepad is simpler and quicker to load so that should also do (but I don't recall if Notepad has a spell-checker though).
Using the “Cntrl + a” and then “Cntrl + c” will select and copy the entire text; and then using “Cntrl + v” will paste it.
Did your session time out? When you hit submit did it take you to the login page? I'm on a mac and always do reviews in text wrangler or word. Never had any issues c&p from word. Before I do anything after I'm done I always select all and copy what I just wrote in case something wonky happens.
guys I just rewrote it and thanks for the suggestions I did the rewrite offline using notepad (mine works with spellcheck) should be posted as soon as the webmaster approves it. Again thanks to all of you who gave me suggestions.

Always better to write beforehand and then transfer, though. Learned that lesson the hard way enough. Even copying your text is good enough.
