Facebook for Android... Lengthy comment lost

GibsonSt19

Hi all, I've just spent the best part of an hour composing a comment on Facebook (lots of references in it etc) and posted it, but the comment didn't appear.

Does anyone know if there's a way of restoring this text from any sort of cache or has my time intensive post slipped into the binary ether?

It's probably lost I'm afraid , if it makes you feel any better it's happened to me several times in the past when posting stuff, so much so that now before I hit post on a lengthy comment I select all and copy what I've written so it's stored in the clipboard, that way if it fails I haven't lost what I wrote.

This has happened to be before on my FB Anrdoid app. I just went to make a post again and all that I wrote reappeared.

Yeah, it's happened to me before too, and usually appears when I go back into the comment, but not b this time

For most Facebook users, more than 6 words and a link to lolcats is in tldr; (too long, didn't read) territory
