Sigh - there it goes again...

ok - the trick is that I work with multiple tabs and multiple threads open - the post was there in the correct tab when gone back, but it just didn't take the first time ... so Joe, make a note to ask if the complainants are using multiple tabs when posting.... :-)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I only mentioned the 'lost post' ta ta ta da ... sorry ... in passing - any system has its annoying bugs, some of them even posting on purpose... no matter what the technical reason, it can still be frustrating... even more frustrating than idiots d*cking around for laughs... had some clown lay rubber up the road for 500 meters up the cul de sac outside this house a few weeks ago - rubber stink hung around for hours....

The 'stored threads' theory I never considered, as sometimes it can happen after doing several test posts with the 'show what she looks like' button ticked, then fail when posted, sometimes just fail ... no pattern that I can detect - the 'go back' has never worked sensibly for me, especially when the post shows up once on initial check (so you close the tab thus losing the possibility of going back!) then vanishes a few minutes later! - Can suggest 2 possibilities, the system somehow losing it cause it didn't get written to store properly, seems more consistent than the sort of 'possible deletion' theory, based on what gets posted. I've made my views of Guests known before, would regret the loss of a bit of anonymous fun. But then any music instrument can be used as a weapon, so you can't just ban all instruments....


Joe - I gave up on fixing that 'bug' with the chat - just bypassed the error checking now... :-)

I tend to partly agree with the sentiment about 'stop me or the nigger gets it' (comedy movie reference!) threads, perhaps one needs to just post - 'I'm alright, just not going to be around for a while' instead of anything else. genuine friends may worry if they don't see someone for a while, especially as we age.
