Auto saved

[QDanT]

so I'm signed in and composing a new thread and a small yellow box keeps flashing up at the bottom 'auto saved'
the interweb quite often drops out here in the sticks but soon comes back but then I've to sign back into BCUK and the new thread composition I was working on has gone ? where is it Auto Saved i.e. can you get it back ?
if I've lots of Photobucket links I usually compose in my mail prog. then copy and paste into BCUK to get round having to start again

auto saved is a little bit of a mystery to me, I've never quite got my head around how it's supposed to work, in theory it's supposed to keep that info ready just in case as a security thing but it's never really seemed to pull it off...
