OR, for the upteamth time (as others and myself have stated repeatedly) if you know you are typing a lengthy post that you do not want to risk losing
just type it out on Word, notepad, Open Office, or any other non ATS connected WORD PROCESSOR! It is that simple, then all you
do is copy and paste into the ATS post box. I promise you (barring some unforeseen catastrophe with both your processor and ATS) you will NEVER lose
your work again. Honestly it is quite foolish to type long responses on the ATS text box anyways for the very reason that something may happen and
there is no way of saving your work. There is no need to download any software, bye any new gadgets, or be super stressed out about losing your
work.
So if you follow these PAINFULY simple tips you should never have to worry about losing your precious work again:
1. Type any long response or thread on an EXTERNAL word processor.
2. Save what you just wrote.
3. Copy and paste into the ATS text box.
4. Hit reply and that is it. You are done! Simple, see?
By the way: I too find the side bar issue VERY annoying but oh well, it is an annoyance nothing more, plus it can be avoided a lot.
