Having to Repost my Posts

When I attempt to post or preview my post the network connection times out and I end up losing the post title.

So I now always have to preemptively copy the title before previewing or posting my post and paste the title back in when I repost.

Does anyone else have this problem and does anyone know how to avoid losing the post title due to a network time out?

Thanks!

If you're talking about Ghost Text, I got it working on Mac Safari, Firefox and Opera (which uses a chrome engine) usonian Apr 21 #3

The Title is always lost in a network hiccup.

EarlG is aware of this but a solution is not easy.

I worry more about the text. It often comes back when you hit the "back" button but too often, it doesn't.

I copy my text to Apple Notes regularly.

If you are computer-savvy, you can install a browser extension called Ghost Text that mirrors your typing (less the Title) in a text editor on your computer (not phone)

When I am worried, I copy the title to the first line of my post in either the editor I am using for Ghost Text (in my case a freeloader copy of Sublime Text, it works well) or Apple Notes, on mobile devices. Saves typing.

Laziness is the mother of invention.

Good luck!!
