New and confused

Hi All, I’m new here and have a problem when editing.
At times I don’t know what I press but my whole text disappears and I can’t get it back (that I can see...!)

But I notice that the system saves a draft ... how do I recover my text from draft.

thanks.

Thanks all for your responses.
I’m typing on my iPhone and the whole post just disappears and there is nothing I see to bring it back. The site is so convoluted that I just give up looking and - if it was a short post - type it back again - or just don’t bother.

Thanks again, I’ll just try to be more careful and check what I’m typing and buttons I press (difficult when typing fast AND PASSIONATELY!!)

Thank you, Deade.

There’s hope then. Better if they fixed the problem rather than us having to be frustrated and find our own way.
I used to work on a system so flawed I thought I was in the wrong job cos no one else seemed to made a complaint when it went wrong. After months of wrangling with the designers I wrote my own version that overlaid the business version. It caught and dealt with the errors before they occurred and worked so smoothly it amused me considerably at business meetings with the designers where they asked if there were any issues and often claimed there was nothing they could do if anything was aired. They knew I had my solution and in the end accused me of ‘damaging their programme’. My manager was angry (out of ignorance) until I showed him that the overlay had not done anything to their very expensive but-in. None-the-less they told me I wasn’t allowed to use my (now) completely 500% better development that cost my development time and a few more £’s. Business software is not always about the best option for value - sometimes it’s political... I had to learn that!!!
(Still, I enjoyed doing what I did and seeing it work flawlessly!!))
