Sadly not. One about the Note7. That one I straight posted, without saving it as a draft along the way (relying on the autosave system).

This is what I want to edit

and this is the message I get

That message usually means the post has been moved or deleted.

Might be best to ask @Toby if he can locate it for you.

I haven't seen that one @Fellwalker It hasn't come up as an unread post (Unlike your Microsoft band 2 for golfers)...so obviously hasn't posted at all. It may still be somewhere as an autosaved draft probably in TTT section...I suggest you go back there and attempt to post again. If it is there you will see a message at the top saying 'You already have a message in autosaved draft. Load or Discard?' If this doesn't come up then maybe @Toby needs to look tomorrow?

You won't see it as he never posted it.

I think it is one for Toby. It doesn't show in autosaved drafts, presumably becasue I specifically saved it as a draft.

He'll need to change your permissions so you can access it.

@MI5 I love it. Needing permission to edit a post that I wrote and saved. That is the icing on the cake today. Whoever designed this Lithium forum software should be forced to actually use it.

This review section is a navigational nightmare (same as the ideas board) and just isn't properly integrated with the main forum yet.

We've raised some issues already which are being looked at but others are "as designed"

@MI5 "Works As Coded" is often how such things have been described to me. The coders write things how they think it should work without considering how the product will be used in real life. I recall a system produced for us that was for course booking, which split every day into half day chunks, despite the shortest course being half a week (two and a half days). Any change meant that the whole data package had to be transferred from the mainframe to our PCs and amended and sent back. It worked OK for them on an internal network, but we had to access it over what was then a shared 128kb/s ISDN line. Surprisingly it didn't work for us.

Lithium has a new annoyance since I last used it. If I spot an error in my typing, correct it and press the End key to get to where I want to recommence typing, I get a hash symbol with a pop up asking for a product name. It lets me have but not an S7 / Edge. It offers a (which is not even available from the link!) but not a Note 7. It is an irritating feature (even if it had been kept up to date) which is probably exactly as coded.

We try to feed back all issues but sometimes it seems never ending!

After all this palaver I am looking forward to reading this review...(when someone finds out where it is)...

@Cleoriff I'm just building a hype about it. My current situation is "astoundingly frustrated" by small print, and conditions that are initially hidden, and feeling cheated. I'm afraid to actually publish this saved draft because I think (though I cannot get back to it to check) that it was just a rant.

Well you got me interested now.

@Fellwalker How could you possibly rant about the Note 7?. I am intrigued. Never mind .....I will move my own status to 'High in Anticipation'...

@Cleoriff It isn't a review of the Note7; it is a review of the pre-order process which has been less than satisfactory. Sorry to disappoint.

@Cheryl12 sorry but can't help in this thread. Could I suggest that you start a new thread in the "Get Help with your mobile device" section?
