    The Tick......

    So I suppose this is more of a Diatribe,caused by this being a reoccurring theme just enough to drive me to want to come over here and rant! (instead of well... you will see)

    Has anyone else ever spent all too long typing out some sort of Forum response (KD) with all your points well thought out. Expressed thoroughly, heck you may have even taken the time out of your day to spell check all those words you knew people already understood in your "New-Speak"...

    And after all this, You move on down with your mouse to click POST Only to find out that you happened to click in the marginally tiny window of time where UTOPIA will just swallow up your awesome contribution. and throw it into the the internet's "BLACK HOLE." since going back dose you no good, and of course when you have that slight glimmer of hope that maybe it actually loaded to the forum then ticked....

    But to your surprise or dismay, depending on if this has happened before or not. It's no where to be found...

    So this is some long winded Quazi-question with a Rant warping it together...

    Has this happened to anyone else before? is it as incredibly frustrating to you as well?

    Even better, write it in word, the formatting carries over (and the in-game formatting is lacking anyway).

    There is also a FF add-on, Lazarus, for such situations. It saves texts etc. you typed when your browser crashed, miss clicked somewhere or, in this case the game ticked. It's really useful.

    It doesn't make any sense that you can't view and post in the forum during the tick. The devs should just make it so that those pages work while the tick is ongoing.

    My browser won't save my stuff with backspace either. As far as I can tell everything is set up properly, it will just sporadically not save things.

    I just try to be careful around ticks. If I'm posting something on the x:59, I copy it first.

    Google Chrome people. This browser will automatically save information so when you hit back it's already there by default.
    T/Ms apparently = black sheep of Utopia.
