I keep losing my posts

Just had a post go astray on the Poetry thread in the Literature section.

Re-posted, of course, but it gets irritating.

my posts have a short shelf life - I don't think it would be much of a loss if one or two disappeared

No worries, SJ. We'll muddle through.

EDIT: Ha ha. Ironically, this very post just went astray, too!

okay, this time I captured what we see.

The website is too busy to show the webpage
HTTP 408/HTTP 409
What you can try:
Refresh the page.

Go back to the previous page.

i am posting this because i just lost a very important reply in the Pink floyd music thread.

I think your posts are great !

Was something up with the site this morning (Sunday)? I kept getting a blank page when I tried to log in, and had convinced myself that ATU II had sunk without trace.

Also, I intermittently find myself viewing an odd "Diagnostics"-type version of the page instead of the regular version.

Yep, the ATU II software needs tapping with a spanner on Monday morning , when forumotion Help becomes available.

OK. It gave me quite a fright.

..me too..

Me too.

I still lose mine occasionally

the next one I lose will be my first.

i haven't been posting so i am not sure if it is still happening.....

I lost one post last night.

Does anyone else keep getting a box on the screen saying that there's a problem with the script on this page and asking whether you wish to continue running it?

I click YES two or three times in one session whenever this box appears.

A few nights ago I lost a post to Constance in the China thread. It hasn't been a problem since then.

I have never seen it.

^ I've never lost any posts here (as far as I know) but, when I get that message outside this forum, I invariably press NO. For what it's worth...

I use windows explorer.

I have been told that using firefox can cause problems for some sites . I had some problems with firefox as regards internet banking.

I use firefox and haven't lost any post

a 'Draft' button is a good idea.



and no more lost posts here either.
