Lost my thread after spending a half hour on it - anyway to recover

Posted in the what's it worth forum, had too many photos and was directed to edit out some. Mention of post is showing up in my current activity but I can't get to it. Is it lost?

Managed to edit out pics and submit by editing source code. Any easier way?

An easier way to recover a post is to simply restore the content when it's been auto-saved in the editor.

It should pop up automatically as an option just below the text editor box. Please note that it will only restore the last message saved (generally the last message you wrote).

My preference when working on large topics, with an image count that exceeds the forum post limit of ten, is to create the topic in Word, then cut and paste into the forum so that the information is not lost during the process, such as in this topic
