Well, I'm sort of biased on the subject atm as I just spent 4.5 hours of my time, which I have very little of, making a new MOTL list. I click preview, everything is good, then I click submit, and it tells me that my password is incorrect, I click back, all my hard work in gone....4.5 hours...very angry.I usually C/P everything only wordpad before I do this, as this is not the first time that I got pwn3d by the submit button. What I suggest is that there be a reminder to everyone that makes a new list to check all necessary fields and to ensure that they are filled out correctly. If it happens to me, I am sure that I am not the first person that this has happened to. It is very frustrating and something that can be easily avoided if a reminder is set. Now the problem is trying to find another 5ish hours to make a list...God... __________________

This is why I always do my lists in notepad and copy and paste. Too many things can go wrong if you don't have a backup to your list.Your problem is with your browser. You should make sure your settings are configured so that it won't wipe out your post when you hit the back button. __________________

I still think it would be a good idea to give some sort of a warning though. It does not have to be a pop-up (those would be VERY annoying), but something in between the "Please do not press Submit more than once!" and the "Submit Reply Button/etc" button. I'm sure it would be very easy to implement and it would save a lot of grey hairs.

Perhaps the system could, in these cases, simply take you forward to the edit screen again with your fields still intact.__________________

This is ultimately overkill, as no real browser clears the fields when going back to a form page. Only Internet Explorer forgets the field inputs. Perhaps this would be a good way for Leshrac to implement that Firefox/Google affiliate program that pays a buck per converted user?
