Many, many thanks to you Rachel and Gideon (and any others involved in running TD) not only for restoring my draft, but for hosting and running TD for the enjoyment of so many people.

There must be an awful lot of work involved in running and improving this site - I hope that you know deeply it is appreciated by so many of us.

sivamathi, sorry about your lost pic, too! Your second one turned out beautifully, though... it is hard to start all over again, isn't it? Hopefully, now this problem has been fixed, this will be a thing of the past!

Thanks TD!

I lost my pic this morning. After spending long hours last night, saved it as draft, load, re-touched a bit in this morning, saved, load, and pressed 'submit'. Probably the heavy size of the file, it kept downloading. It was right before going to work, I rushed to do that again and the pic never came back... I sent a message to Rachel right after but no response so probably I just have to forget it and do that again... I feel so exhausted.

Don't give up on it, hanging. We get the impression that Rachel doesn't have an army of staff to deal with all our problems immediately. She has rescued some 'lost' drawings in the past ... it may be worth asking her again on Monday.

Thank you Login. I will do that on Monday. I had tried to re-do with the same pallet (beads) over and over again but felt sooo awkward so changed the pallet to 'candy' and just finished. I still can't forget the impression in the original pic though. Hopefully, we can compare and see the difference of the original and re-creation and learn something from that.

ok...have a question.
Is there any way to save my pics to a personal file where I can copy or print my work?
I have a few that I would like to print out.

Yes 56rosie. When you are in the gallery, right click on your picture and click "save picture as." You will be given the opportunity to save it to the file of your choice on your computer where you can print from or enlarge or whatever. They will be thumbnail size though and you can make them bigger, but the bigger the picture, the lower the resolution.

The only way i know to print your work is to simply open the picture- right click on the image and select print from the menu- as far as saving to your computer i assume you could follow the same steps but print to a file instead of a printer or perhaps take a screen-shot.- most keyboards have a 'print screen' button.- I'm sure the more technically inclined users will have a more elegant solution.

ahh- see i knew someone would have a better solution.

not necessarily better, just different

Umm.. hiya ThinkDraw - my profile is set to 'warn me', but I inadvertently clicked elsewhere just now and have lost the pic that I've been working on for the last couple of days.

Can you please check this out - I'm mighty upset !

Sooo sorry marg! That is a terrible feeling... I really hope that it can be retrieved for you.
