I was creating the thread for the review of the Scary Ghosts and had typed in some text and added the links for the photos. Then I decided that I should try to take a photo of the ghosts in the dark to see if I could show how they glow in the dark. When I came back from locking myself in my dark bathroom (now that's scary!) my partly finished post was gone! Disappeared! Not to be found anywhere!
Is there a time limit when creating a post? If you don't type something for a certain amount of time does it just vanish? Or... did the ghosts do it?? :o
-
I think the ghosts did it ;D spooky!
It has never happened to me ... strange... ???
-
I don't know. It's never happened to me before.
It sounds like the page auto-refreshed itself. Very strange!
How long were you gone?

Maybe that is the answer. If when Rona logs on she has the option to stay logged on set to one hour, then after that time she would be logged out automatically.

Ah... that could be it! Particularly if the one hour limit was close to expiring when she began writing the post.
Good pick-up! :)

Set your time limit to "forever" when manually signing into the forum & it won't clear itself! Then when you're done you can sign out or not.

I'm always 'forever' 0) - the only difference is that I never sign out :P

Ditto.
And that's a good slogan - Damo for ever! Or, maybe even better, Playmofriends for ever!

Me too! When you clear your cookies under the tools section online you will be required to manually sign on the first time after you do that procedure! ;)

Do you have a cat who likes to walk on your keyboard? :lol:
Just another theory. :-[

Before the age of computers I had a cat which would sit on my knee while I was typing and try to catch the piece as it flipped up to type a letter. When I moved house, I had to leave him and his brother with the new owner but some years later they came to stay for a holiday and he spotted the typewriter on the table, jumped up and began ferreting about with a paw in the typing basket.
-
I've just realised that the above post may not make much sense to people who are too young to know about typewriters! With the typewriter there was a semi-circular area between the keyboard and where the paper was which was called the typing basket. When you hit a key on the keyboard a metal arm with a small hammer head shaped piece on the end came up out of the typing basket and hit the paper, making the appropriate letter. Each of the hammer head shaped pieces had on it two characters, e.g. a lower case letter "a" and an upper case one so you would have 40 or so of these arms flipping up and down in turn as your typed, an ideal attraction for a cat.

:lol: I knew exactly what you meant! my mom has a very fine old typewriter that was hers in high school. I enjoyed playing on it as a child, before we bought an electric typewriter, which is also completely obsolete now. But that was before most people had a computer at home. It's funny; home computers only became standard very recently, within my lifetime and i'm only 25! But it's hard to remember what life was like before them.

Hi
I have never had this happen and I have left unfinished posts for hours if not days. I do have my sign in setting for Forever as I can never remember my passwords . I did get an Internal Server Error message a few hours ago when I did a search of this site ? It only lasted 10 or so minutes though

I got the internal server error too...
-
Me too, but I refreshed the page with my reply on and resent it - and found I'd posted the same reply twice! :-[
-
I had this blip at the exact same time as you guys, because when I finally got back on, I noticed that all the smileys went a bit funny, and Gordon had 2 identical posts :P
Damo :)
-
I've had the internal servor error several times in the past couple of days, especially if i leave the website up while i go do something else and try to come back to it.
-
I do have my setting at "forever" so it doesn't time me out. And, PF didn't close the webpage when I lost the post just the page with the half finished post was gone. It wasn't more than 15 minutes that I was gone. (Probably considerably less than that because I didn't really want to spend much time in the dark bathroom once I discovered that my camera couldn't pick up the very faint glow from the ghosts.)
The cat was outside. ;D
I think it must have just been a glitch in my computer if no one else has had the same experience. (But, I think if I'm going to do any long posts that I'll write them in Word and then just paste them here after I'm done.)
-
Probably the best and safest solution. I have done that before.
-
That's the smart & safe option Rona. ;D
I didn't do that, and lost a review I was writing three times in succession, due to some glitch. It was so annoying and frustrating (it was a very good review and very funny) that I never did re-write it a fourth time, and never got on with the series of I was in the process of doing. :'(

HI
So its the ghost Klickes then :o

*cue twilight zone music*

i've never experienced the dark room experience lol
but everytime i try to post a message right after posting another it blocks me and a message in red pops up on the top of the text box asking if i'm not double posting by mistake
-
I've been noticing that in some threads if I'm doing a reply, if someone else is doing the same procedure at the exact same time, there are extended delays with the spell check, & additional smilies options!
