text NOT going missing after failed post attempt

<< < (2/2)

arjit:
ok .It's an error posting page it's just when your post is not accepted for some reason .
Ok i will try to make it happen here .by having an attachment to my post  thats over the size of the settings for this forum.
What size limits have you got set on this forum  for attachments. ?

Arantor:
Um, it's written in the attachment area, but I wasn't interested in what you get here, I was interested in what goes on on your own forum (e.g. because you have something unusual related to mods).

Also, try another browser. Firefox and Chrome can actually deal with this quite happily - it's only IE that can't (and there's not really a good way to fix it in IE anyway)

arjit:
OK tested here ,the over size random attachment post then I tested on my usual forums .
OK the page that appears is :- "an Error has occurred" :-
             "Your file is too large. The maximum attachment size allowed is 5096 KB"
with a "back" hyperlink underneath .
Really Weird ,currently if I click this "back" link I am returning to a page that has my previous typed text in this box.
But sometimes I have been returned to a page with just a blank box and my typing has been lost .  It's happened quite a few times ,that's why I got into the habit of copying before I pressed the submit .

It's very smart and right way not to loose your massage . I think a lot of people will do like that .

That should hopefully be fixed (in the sense that SMF should not stop any more with a fatal error while posting...at least not for attachments anyway) due to the changes in 2.1...
