journeyman Mick 7th April 2007, 02:16 AM Happens sometimes:doh: If it's a long or complicated post it's worth doing a copy and save into notepad or word. That way of it dissapears into a black hole you don't need to remember and type it all. Just try it again.

Wild Dingo 7th April 2007, 04:41 AM Or... get over it and write it again :; easy as really :2tsup:
Me Ive had some humdingers ridin a razors edge of dribbling drivel posts and I mean marginally overthefriggintop loopy troppo inspired posts... that have just zapped themselves the moment I hit "submit"... Ive fumed farted burped and grumbled for a few ticks then built meself a wee bridge and gotten my bum over it!... did I write it again? yep occasionally Id sit and re-write it and that time it may or may not get to where it was intended... and other times Id mmmm and then move on to something else...
Nowadays I wouldnt dare write it in the first place! and definantly not a re-write! :o dribbling drivel isnt accpetable you know :doh: sorry my bad but I couldnt help meself :U :U BUT!! if anyone wants I do have a defence!! or I can make one up pretty quick if you prefer! :B :U
bpj1968 9th April 2007, 10:02 AM use the back button on your brwoser. Highlight all the text and "right click" and "copy" if that is an option, or highlight and "ctrl + c" (copy). try submit again if it doesn't work, browse back to submit a new reply and right click and paste , or "Ctrl + v" and post again..

Notepad good, Word bad..
Word attaches tags at the end of sentences:p like this:p and sometimes in the middle too. It makes :p:p it very hard to :-:-read.

joe greiner 9th April 2007, 03:18 PM Yes, Notepad good, Word bad. Too many bells and whistles in Word. I compose my thread or reply in Notepad from the start, then paste into the reply window. Easy fixup in case of oops. Not long ago, I saw a post (seemed authoritative) saying the WWF's server is in USA. Bits and bytes get bumped around going from here to there to here to there ... Sometimes takes quite a while to register. I've had a couple apparent black hole victims show up in the thread after I've given up.
