The SC4 Devotion Forums are no longer active, but remain online in an archived, read-only "museum" state.  It is not possible for regular members to post or use the private messaging system, and no technical support will be provided for any issues pertaining to the forums in their current state.  Attachments (those that still work) are accessible without login.

The LEX has been replaced with SC4Evermore (SC4E), and SC4E maintains an active Discord server.  For traditional forums, we recommend Simtropolis.

Is it possible to save a message during preparation before posting it?

The title speaks for itself. From some time my computer randomly crashes - it is rather not caused by SC4, maybe something in BIOS - I'm trying to find the reason. When I'm preparing an update and my machine crashes, everything I have written till this time is lost.
Because of it I posted last two updates partially, modyfying the message many times. But it is irritating for me and for viewers. Today I want to make the next update - is it possible to solve this stupid problem? ()what()

I dont believe there is a way of saving it on the internet... the only way i can think of is to copy all the message into notepad and then you can save it to your computer... i dont believe i have ever seen an SMF (the forum software) package for saving messages before posting or, like Simtropolis do it, allowing you to have a personal board

When I've written my tutorials, I've always had the content saved in Notepad.
Always, before pressing the Preview button, I'd copy everything into Notepad and save it first.

It's also easier to edit the text in Notepad, e.g. if you want to search and replace multiple text strings. :thumbsup:
