Hello Corion,

I’m sure I didn’t get any warning message. :-(

I’m still not clear whether the 64k text limit applies to messages, scratchpads, and home node separately or all together. The reason I ask is that I’m not sure whether reducing the contents of, say, my messages folder or public scratchpad would alleviate the problem with my private scratchpad?

As for the new data: the only change I’ve made to my private scratchpad recently was to click on the “Add to private pad” link (at the bottom of my Personal Nodelet) for a single node I wanted to remember. But the data truncated from the scratchpad runs to (probably) more than a hundred lines — far more than I could have added.

So if the data can be recovered, that will be great! :-)

Thanks for your help,
