No when I changed it to Oldest First it did take me the oldest post. Though I hadn't posted at that time.

so those of us who actually want to use the "number sign" or "pound symbol" as such are SOL, and we have to edit the source code of our posts to remove the default HTML tagging ... I suspect we are a minority of users, which apparently makes that mechanization ok ...

We've bumped this up to higher priority

Hello!

I am one of the longtime contributors to the "Old Timer's Airline Quiz and Discussion" in the Travel Buzz section. I encountered a major problem today while composing a new set of airline quiz items. Following several hours of work, I received an error message followed by my lengthy post being completely wiped out without a trace before I had completed it. I did try to reload but no joy. Usually my posts are automatically saved as I enter them so I can then retrieve them if a problem is encountered while in progress (and this has worked great in the past). However, this did not happen this time. Is there any way I might retrieve my post in progress or will I have to start over from scratch? Very frustrating!

Thanks for your assistance and advice in advance.

I have been struggling for the last two hours trying to finish a (long) post, with pictures and everytime I add some pictures and text, it deletes what I added before. Is there now a limit of the post size ? Pretty frustrating... I am on Mac OS 10.13.6 and using Firefox 69.0
Thanks.

Unfortunately after testing, it is lost. This looks like the Auto-Save feature is not working and I have told tech to re-enable.

I'm getting a button that allows me to restore what I wrote in a previous editor. Are you not seeing the same as below? Tech said it should auto-save after 60sec/1min. If not, what browser/device are you on? (P.S. I asked if there was anyway they could get me your lengthy content back).

I'm not aware of any limit under 100MB (and I believe even that is not in effect). Could you please email me that content, so I can test it out? [email protected]

Another lower priority but outstanding issue that was just as true before the update but which seems even worse after the update:

Reaching your profile. It used to take a longer than necessary time for the website to actually take us to our profile. There never was any excuse, but it always took like 10-15 seconds at least after hitting your name link on the MyFlyerTalk page or even the Your Profile link under the Control Panel.

Now it takes 30-45 seconds to get to your actual profile page! It delays to get there now...and then semi-loads and delays as the tabs and other details finally load/populate. It is freaking annoying.

Please fix!

Going to a variety of Profile pages (my own, yours, other users) loads almost instantly for me. Have you tried different devices and browsers?

Chrome, Safari, Mac iOs, Windows, Android, iPad, MacBook, it never matters.

Is it possible that I'm being screwed by my own large list of hotel reviews that causes that page to load painfully slow?

Normally, I do see the Restore Auto-Saved Content button. However, this time I do not believe it was there. I will look for it when I have time to reconstitute my post and report back.

OK, I just tested the auto restore on my iPad and I don't see the words in the lower left corner of the text box for my "quick reply" now. I know it was working for me earlier today.

Actually, after testing off of the main IB network, yes.

I'll ask tech if there's some kind of fix or alternative formatting we can implement.

Thanks! I'd hate to think my contributions are screwing me.

Me too including mobile Safari.

And while we�re at it, must flyvertalk ads be animated? Do you have any data supporting a financial benefit? (I wouldn�t mind paying an annual fee for ad-free, but don�t see it mentioned as an option.)

At times the visual triggers bring up thoughts of whether my doctor should have me checked for borderline misokinesia.

Joel, in August 2015, before your time here on flyertalk, I wrote about such distraction in one of my first posts.

Why crawl when you can stand still? [ditracting headline sroll]
