LOOSING MY POST!

[queenbeebear]

Help very frustrated, I am! Wrote a rather long and diliberately thoughtful post, went to embelish it with more smilies and poof! My post was eaten,
This has happened a few times, but there must be a problem?

That's happened to me a few times, usually when there is a problem with the forum hosting site (i.e. it goes down for a while, sometimes just a few seconds) or a internet problem.

Best to copy large posts; a Ctrl+C can save a great deal of anguish!

I have given up on posting large amounts of text in the browser but I thought that it was due to my chewing-gum, string and bogies dialup connection. I usually write my replies in notepad and then cut and paste the text into the reply box. That way, if I think of something useful (unlikely I know ) I can also c&p it into my journal.

I think it's happened to all of us at one time or another—and usually after we've just spent an inordinate amount of time composing something and finally had it exactly right. I blame it on server gremlins, or perhaps the board is haunted by a particularly mischevious entity with an impeccable sense of timing. Regardless, as Badger Bob says, it's always a good idea to compose a lengthy post elsewhere and then copy it to the board when you have it the way you want it. That way, when the board eats your post, you have a backup copy (says she who never remembers to do it, either... ).

Ah indeed, Badger Bob, thou art wise. And yes it is a good idea to have it backed up elsewhere, I was just trying to be "in the moment!" Well, heres to the string and bogies theory! Thanks all for the help!

There...tie your posts together with that. Now you won't have any problems with loose posts.


Oh...you meant you've lost your post?

*hands Bee a purple leash*

That should help.

Let me know if it turns out you need a cat harness instead.

Rhiannon, Amber the cat looking very perturbed about the harness suggestion!!
