Thanks for all the info midnightpoet! Had no idea others have lost pics too. Sad, but good to know problem is not mine alone. : ) |

As midnight has already said, many of us have lost drawings. My own belief is that there is a maximum number of pieces that you can put into a drawing. After that, trouble starts. |

"Open Me" is one of my drawings, and I had it open working on it off and on for 4 hours. Sorry for the confusion. |

One suggestion I'd like to add, if you Load Draft but don't add anything to it, don't forget to hit Save Draft again. Think Draw doesn't seem to remember that it was saved before and even if you don't add anything you still have to Save it or it will be lost. (Lost a good 2 hour piece of work that way and had no one but myself to blame for it) |

this has been addressed in the other forum. sometimes you can get these back but I think login is right there is association with number of pieces. kmkagel had suggestions that I have ssen posted in the past regarding this problem, I have not tried them and don't know how far back you will need to go to find that thread. I'm pretty sure it is not here in the community forum |

I'm almost embarrassed to admit how many hours I put into some drawings... 4, 5, 6... |

Too many pics are going missing for it just to be a coincidence. |

Qsilv, I dont' think you should be embarrassed one bit to say you've put 4-6 hours into your fabulous TD creations! I'm really new at this and have been spending near that time on some drawings too! You've helped me realize something: doesn't matter how long it takes! |

I doubt the "freezing up" is Think Draws issue... At least, I have never seen it freeze... |

If I may, I was drawing in Avatar, saved it, closed out, came back could not load draft. It read something like "Sorry, cannot ...." Anyway I went to gallery, then clicked on Draw, clicked on Load and up it came, every time! Don't understand that, but, after redoing something over and over, this worked. I believe some of this is a TD issue. I have done pictures over more times than you can imagine! It's because I was intent on doing them in the first place! As you said, Good Practice, I don't think so! I've had pictures, disappear just as I was nearing the "submit". I've found the no. of pieces (within reason) wasn't always an issue. |

matthew - thanks for your thoughts. If you read what I wrote at start of this forum, maybe "freezing up" is not apt, but the site quits functioning. My computer nerd brother says it probably IS a TD problem - then explained about servers until my eyes glazed over. Anyway, thanks for your input. |

Marius, that made me think of a refrigerator magnet my friend's mom gave me years ago. It says, "God grant me patience...AND I WANT IT RIGHT NOW!" LOL |

marius - when all else fails - You might try clearing your browser. going through that might help. I keep trying to think of what might help. You'll note I told you when I was getting ready to submit my picture disappeared! |

P.S. Note: I say "when all else fails". You want to try the other things first. |

Okay, re-thinking this losing of pictures. It IS possible that vase-cat is an old one I saved when I first started on TD. Hmmm. Don't remember it, but it's goofy enough to be mine. |

marius, you can save a draft in each pallet without it causing problems. Probably was your cat |
