Before You Press Send....

....it would relieve a lot of stress if you highlight your whole note and then press Ctrl C With so many messages disappearing because of the evil post troll who lives and works here sometimes, it would help to save our posts before sending them.

That way, if the troll tries to work his black magic to make the post disappear, we will have thwarted him Just open the window again and press Ctrl V, and voila, it is still there to send another time!

And he only seems to show up when we have written an extremely long and thoughtful letter

Just speaking from lots of experience....

The hiccups (lost posts) that were seen during the hosting transition should be history. We were running on two different servers at the time of switching hosts, so the posts were actually submitted but they were not transferred over. This only affected a handful of posts.

If you are writing a long post, make sure to click the "Preview Post" button frequently. Also, type your post in a Word or TextEdit and paste it here after you are finished. The settings on this Forum are set to help ensure that posts are not lost.

A lot of this also depends on a Member's connection to the Forum (very slow connection speeds like dial-up , etc.).
