452:~ Can someone PLEASE HELP ME? ~ I just spent all night working on a Knowledge (XXG) page "Bathory (2008 film)" and did a MASSIVE expansion on it, with loads of information, background, dozens of cross-references and citations. It was the first large (for me anyway) Wiki project I've ever done and I was SO happy with how it had turned out, after hours of careful re-editing and original research.

PREVIEW so many times, I'm hoping that my work is stored temporarily either on my PC or perhaps even on
Knowledge (XXG) somewhere (but for that I don't even know where to begin looking, if it's even possible!) I guess the issue is recovering lost "form field data", is that right? And is it possible?
455:
Well, you can probably guess what happened next - JUST before I was about to finally SAVE my work on
Knowledge (XXG) (I don't know why I had only been PREVIEWing it up till that point, but I had - MANY times in fact), my PC mysteriously shut down and restarted! Now all my work seems to be gone. I'm

My question is: Can I recover the all the painstaking work I just did? Is it in my PC somewhere? I'm pretty adept at PCs and can look for it if it's saved in my browser's cache somewhere (I'm using
Firefox 2.0.0.13, and Windows XP Pro), my search so far isn't going so well. Since I clicked on
