When clicking Submit Changes after writing in all the details of a character, it deletes everything the first time it is clicked.
I spent an hour and wrote several pages about my character, it was all deleted because of this bug, and this makes me upset. I can't simply replace what was written after spending an hour on it.
Other material has been deleted because of this in the past. Can this bug please be fixed?
Just a note (I am not a mod): Whenever writing anything long on an alias profile, always try to copy it first. Bugs aside, there are a lot things that can go wrong over the course of an hour.
How did it delete everything? Did it give you the "Backtracked too far" page?

Yes, it did give me that page. I understand that the bug is just a bug and these things happen, but it should be relatively easy to fix regardless...
Hey there, this bug is something we're aware of and we have in our queue of issues, though it is behind a number of more critical ones. In general, a good rule of thumb with any online form (not just for paizo.com) when you're writing long blocks of text is to use a text editor to copy and paste from. There are also a number of browser extensions that will retain text for this reason also. It's a common internet issue and we know it sucks.
