I wasn't seeing a problem, but then we've established that Chrome is ok with it.

My Firefox never had problem with text bolding, so no need for FF users as well. I am not sure what browser has this problem.

I remember IE 8 having the issue.
so really the problem is XP IE users....

Aha, so the people who are mostly getting screwed over are government workers. Oh wait no, that was IE6.

My office runs IE7.....

Still more technologically advanced than the UK government. Or who knows, maybe they're on 7 now too.

The UK government uses Computers? Since when? I thought they were still on typewriters!

What's the method for recovering a post lost on mozilla firefox? Is it just using the browing history? What a fool I have been!

If you kept the window open, I think you can press ALT+LEFT to go back. I also think Firefox has 'recently closed windows' somewhere in the menus? The ALT+LEFT thing should have worked for you in the situation you describe in the mafia thread where you typed a post and then clicked a new reply button before posting.

ALT+LEFT certainly works on Chrome, but it has no recently closed windows thing as far as I know. =(

History -> Recently Closed Windows

Thanks guys! It will never be a problem again. (Hi vitek! Miss you)

That's good, you are allowed to miss me. ;-)

I don't miss you so much because I get to enjoy you at least indirectly. :-)

you've seen my photos ;)

Really? When?

bollocks! just deleted the post I had written. Irretrievably. Again.
