I'm a tab browser. As I weed my way through the web, I filter interesting things I want to read closer by sending them to a new tab. I was doing this Sunday evening as I was frantically trying to catch up on all the work you all have been posting today. I had a dozen tabs open, including my Week One Wrap when my browser crashed.
So, I'm off to see if my update autosaved. And then I will try to determine what tabs were previously so compelling.
*sigh*

I love autosave! It just made a little lemonade out of the bushel of lemons that were just dumped on me.
ReplyDelete(Is this week over yet?)
Hi Kent,
ReplyDeleteI think the week is drawing to a close ... and then, we start again!
I didn't know autosave saved TABS too! Just FYI, Blackboard won't save posts.
Grrrr.

Barbara,
ReplyDeleteSorry for the confusion, but the only thing autosave did for me was save my blog post. I had to go back and re-open all my tabs manually. My browser used to re-open my tabs after a crash, but not anymore. I'll have to investigate further.
The autosave feature was one of the reasons I originally migrated from Yahoo mail to Google mail. I will autosave was ubiquitous on the web.

what browser do you use?
ReplyDeletefirefox does re-open all tabs.
given blackboard's secure nature, you will be signed out of that and be given a user login error if you try to sign in on the page displayed. Just use the links on the top to get to wherever you wanted to be...
Yeah, I use Firefox as my secondary browser (IE only for OWA and dire emergencies). I use Safari because of the bookmark sync with my iPhone. That and I generally like the browser. Needless to say, I was in Safari when the disaster occurred.
