WTF! Stupid "Clear" button erased my reviewsad_smile

I wrote a nice 1000 word review, goto click on the "add" button. The mouse skips and the clear button gets clicked. poof! everything's gone.

It made me think how pointless that button really is! Does anybody actually use the "clear all" button? Why would anybody put it right next to the submit button especially if there's not even an undo for this. Early web designers used to have these kinds of "reset" buttons next to submit but now it's common practice to exclude it altogether because it causes more damage than it does any good.

I'm not writing all that again.

I found that out the hard way on one of my previous reviews.  It pissed me off to have written so much only to have it disappear because I let my session become inactive for too long.  I did end up redoing it.

I now save my review in a Wordpad file before submitting it to TER, just in case the review somehow gets altered/deleted/timed-out during the submission process.

That's why I always write my review on MS Word and than I pasted onto TER.
