Somebody decided to flood the quest board, that's why.

Blame that guy, whoever it was.

...And I just lost all the text of my latest update.

Thanks captcha.

F*ck you random spammer.

Probably a good idea to save a back up copy of your updates in the future. Never know when something might brake and you lose your updates.

Were you using quick reply? It's only new threads and quick reply (in other words, the post entry field on the front page of /quest/) that has a captcha requirement. If you post from within the threads, there's no captcha.

I also always had the problem that longer texts were suddenly gone...
Especially when I am clumsy and press F5 or back or a link on a different website that is leaving the page.
Some time ago I had a nice FF-Addon, but it kind of broke...

So, nowadays I use a small userscript written by me:
http://phi.pf-control.de/userscripts/AutoSaveDiv/AutoSaveDiv.user.js

All input fields get a small blue corner on the lower left.
Clicking it turns it red and everything you enter is automatically saved.
Hovering over the cordner is displaying the saved text.
Right-clicking is restoring the text.
Left-clicking is disabling auto-save again.
To clear saved texts there is a menu command registered.
ctrl+shift+alt+c restores saved text
ctrl+shift+alt+d toggles autosave on/off

Affected are <textarea> and <div contenteditable> elements.
