If a message doesn't pass the anti-spambot filter (e.g. page was open > 24hr), then the message will still be lost, but going forward it'll no longer mark the parent as edited.
As stated earlier, we don't have any good options to preserve content if it gets lost. (Personally I use http://getlazarus.com/ for a general solution - works well in Chrome, latest versions seem to not work in Firefox) --- ** [tickets:#6381] Allura tickets system intermittently discards replies to comments [ss4454]** **Status:** closed **Labels:** support p2 42cc **Created:** Thu Jun 20, 2013 01:28 PM UTC by Chris Tsai **Last Updated:** Mon Dec 02, 2013 10:37 AM UTC **Owner:** nobody Ref: [allura:tickets:#4454] keithmarshall: >>>Within the browser view of a ticket, I'll select the "reply" option in one >>>of the follow-up comment panes.

So we don't need to do a lot of timestamp comparing to figure out which reply specifically, it looks like it's this one: https://sourceforge.net/p/mingw/bugs/1989/#3e85/cd7b/d222/aba9/76e9 --- Sent from sourceforge.net because allura-dev@incubator.apache.org is subscribed to https://sourceforge.net/p/allura/tickets/ To unsubscribe from further messages, a project admin can change settings at https://sourceforge.net/p/allura/admin/tickets/options.
