I lost two pictures in the last few days. Is there a way to get a warning when we have too many piece; if that is the reason they can't load to be summited?

recently the save draft feature was updated..so you have to make sure to save the draft every single time you open it, even if you dont make any changes before you close the window, otherwise it will be deleted. sorry to hear about your lost pictures..i think we all know how frustrating it is.

No, that's not what happened. I make it a point to save it often while drawing. When I go to submit is just says to wait that it is submitting. I waited about 5 minutes this time and the page was just frozen saying it was submitting.

I started doing it over; second time is always the charm it seems but what a price for a better picture. The problem is I am submitting pictures before I'm finished for fear of losing them otherwise.

I've done a few fairly complex pictures using the Save Draft feature and have never had a problem - maybe your server has lost its connection during your session and so can't save the draft.

Grahame, that is very possible, I have been having connection problems with my phone line for some time. They put me on a new line, done that 3 times, and changed the phone box's PC card twice but that never fixes the problem for good just keeps noise off my line for a few months. They fix the same thing each time instead of doing something different. They don't want to dig ground or replace outdoor phone boxes so they fix what doesn't need fixing.

Oh well, today I lost 2 pictures - Load Draft was showing and when I clicked on it, it could not be loaded. These pictures were just shy of being submitted.

Km, so sorry for you. Are you willing to do them over again? Every time I re-do something they come out better in some regards.

I've lost some time intensive pictures. I have done some over but the saved ones were better. This just started. It seems I have to sit and finish whatever I'm working on and submit it regardless how involved it is. It's upsetting to me and I'm sure to anyone else experiencing it. I suppose there isn't any progress on "deglictching it". Some of mine weren't as involved as some of the others I'm sure.

I'm noticing Graham's comments. My server seems to be fine here. I'm suspecting it's something with the program. I had a problem when I first joined TD but it was an Ether wire problem. The losses I had then were before we had Save Draft.
