Hi Jimmy
This happened me with the last review I sent in as well. Luckily I wrote the main body in "word", so it was a copy/paste for the most. All the other small boxes had to be re-filled. I mentioned this to the staff at the time .... they are aware.

That has happened to me before. So I take an extra precaution by typing it into Microsoft Word first, then copy and paste into the online form.

Regards,
Chas

Been there, done that... If I had a t-shirt for every fubar involving me and a computer, I never need buy a t-shirt again. .

I know it won't bring this review back, but this problem seems to be attached to some brouwsers. It does it with Internet Explorer, AOHell, but not with Firefox. I can go back and forth in Firefox, with out the details disappearing.

Unfortunately it's a limitation of the way the submission form handles things at the moment. As the others have mentioned, it's always a good idea to write up your text in another program as opposed to composing it all directly in the form. I too had the experience of "losing it all" once and learned my lesson well. Sorry you've been burned by this one Jimmy, but you're not alone!
