Forum error or posting problems??

Had a user email this problem...
There have been at least a dozen posts that I have made on threads that have disappeared and I was wanting to know if I was doing/saying something wrong or if there is a problem with the program/server? It is very frustrating to waste 10-15 minutes writing something up and posting it to have it disappear and I haven't had this problem on other sites. It has really led me to not posting(or trying to) as much as before.
I'm not having any problems on my end, but I'm wanting to know if any others are having problems??

Thanks

Periodically, I've experienced the same problem.

I have also from time to time on multiple computers but not much.

The way I got around it when it would act up was to hit the preview button first then when it was done loading that page I would hit the submit button and then it would post my remarks.

It hasn't done it for awhile now.

I think it times us out on a long post......I do the same thing that a_bow_nut does. I've lost some long posts before. Is there anyway to lengthen the amount of time on a reply?

Brett, the only problem I have had is sometimes if I "think" too long or the post I am typing is too long I cannot submit it (I hit submit and get a blank banner instead of the one that gives me the option of returning to forum or returning to message).

However, I just hit the back arrow, cut and paste my post, and resubmit whatever it was I was typing and it works fine.

This only happens when I take too long typing something though.

It has happened to me a few times but again on long posts. Learned to do hit the back button like AGC when it does happen.

same here only I thought it was that I lost connection on my wireless internet and so it wouldn't post, but now that I think about it it was a pretty long post. I am sure that is the problem.

I had the same problem but then i figured out that you can't make your paragraphs to long. Try to write about 4-5 lines and if you aren't done typing press enter about two times, and if you still aren't done then just do another 4-5 lines and then press enter again like 2 times.
