Finding saved but unfinished question
My fingers just aren't quick enough to beat the autosafe reset. Three times now, I've neared finishing my question only to have the screen reset and the unfinished question vanish.
First, is there a way to delay the autosave resets and, second, where can I find saved questions?
For the record, I'm using MSE v.6 and, no, I won't be upgrading or using another browser from here anytime soon.

danny - i can't answer your question, but have some friendly advice. i type my questions in a email. (using outlook express) then start the question making process. just copy and paste the info into the places its required. if something happens like what you described above i still have my question. goodluck.
Thanks, DD. Unfortunately, with multiple choice questions, it just takes too long to complete the entire question before the reset. Wonder what the purpose of the save button is if you can't find what was saved? I guess my two questions remain.
danny - i've never had the "reset" problem (i'm a slow typer) so i can't tell you how to fix it. i've never used the save feature either. you can use the "contact" button/word at the bottom of any page to send an email to the big chiefs at HD. you can also email tisha (the community director) and she will be able to help you. tisha@hubdub.com thats the email address. goodluck.
I'm still kinda hoping that the Kahunas here check the Forums once in a while, so I'll give it a couple more days. To clairfy, the question page, usually on screen number 2 -- the one where you enter the background, settlement and odds -- will simply reset or whatever and all the data I've entered vanishes. I've tried to protect my effort by hitting the save button in the lower right corner but then been unable to find where a page reload button is.
danny - i think i kinda had your problem. while making a question last night, shortly after i got to page 2 the page kinda jumped. there was know way anybody woulda had time to finish typing the question. luckily it didn't cause me to lose what i had already typed in. i'm guessing theres a glitch in the system.
Thanks, DD. I'm glad to know that others have the same issue and it's not just me. I'll keep checking here for a workaround or other answer since I'm reluctant now to work on new questions only to have them thrown away by the HD system.
The save button should do more or less exactly the same thing as the autosave function, ie. you might see a jump but it shouldn't blank the pages. It's not an IE6 problem as such, since it works just fine for me in IE6. Sounds like it could be some kind of configuration issue with your browser, possibly related to any toolbars etc. you may have installed.
If you are unable to update to modern-era browser at your location, then I can only really suggest that you either go into options and disable javascript before posting a question, or post your questions from another location if you have internet access somewhere else.

i had the problem for the first time today. had the question all done and was working on the odds. next thing i knew the page disappeared along with the info.
So, apparently nobody knows where your data goes when the page autosaves. To repeat, if the page is being saved, where can I find the saved data? Regarding the toolbars and "modern-era browser" I can only say the company IS poobahs keep such a short least on apps on my computer that it's a wonder I'm able to even log into HD at all. And if you can't HubDub from your cube, what's the point ;-)
Not that it helps at all, but I had this exact same problem a few months back...for some reason its not happening to me any more, so i figured something had been fixed. I did wot ddog said and typed my questions in email so i didnt lose em...
