Testing a reply with a link before posting
I just answered a question and as part of the answer I pasted a link to to another thread. As I often do, I Previewed the post and clicked on the embedded link to ensure it worked properly. I did get a message warning me that I was navigating away from my post and the info would be lost. I didn't believe it but I should have, my reply was gone.
Is there no way to test links in posts without losing the tentative reply?

Hello,
I'm doing the same as MudCrab...
I was always considering it as normal behavior that leaving the page with a form with some unsubmitted information/content is not saving this information/content. I'm not sure if it can be changed, however I would try to dig for additional info regarding it.
Thanks

Hi Seekforever,
What browser are you using? Almost all modern browsers allow for opening links in new tabs by Ctrl+Click or by pressing the middle mouse button or the mouse wheel.
Hope this helps. Thanks

I find website boxes tedious. Especially if I'm doing a long post, I do it in MS Word or Open Office and get it right, then copy and paste it.
