Just a few minutes ago. I answered a discussion about a kids birthday party theme. I pressed the button Post response button and waited. I waited and waited. Nothing happened. It had taken away my post response button so I pressed edit. Took about a minute to get to edit. Then I went back to and posted again. Finally after about five minutes it went through. I checked the discussion and lo and behold I have two comments. A double posts. Sheesh I hate those things. I went to discussions I have replied to, and my post isn't even there. It also didn't get credited in my account. I forgot who had the discussion so now I cant even go back and check to see if its still there. I hate when mylot goes into wait mode. I always end up doing double posts. But I normally never have the problem of it not showing up. Anyone else had this problem? What should I do to correct it/?

Hello.missnow, I think there have been many problems in mylot,I ahd similar experience. I had been failed to reply to anyone,any discussions, having double posts and uploading the wrong picture as I was suposed to upload it in another discussion, and i had also replied to someone but did not get any credit,if you could find the discussion , you might try to post it again.
Good luck

Yes, yes, and YES!!!!
It has happened to me many of times. It think it is because myLot is trying to fix the upgrades and they are just having issues.
I have found that when it is taking a long time, I copy my response because I know there is going to be a problem.
The other day I responded to a friends discussion and realized that it was going super slow!!! So, I copied my response and waited.
Well, then I got tired of waiting, pressed the Edit button and submitted again.
After walking away and coming back, I discovered it posted twice. *sigh* Fine!
My bad....So, I posted a comment on my second response and apologized for the duplicate postings.
But later, I went back to see if there was a comment...and it was gone!!!
Both responses AND my I'm sorry comment!!!
Grrrr!!!!
Thank goodness...it was still in my clipboard because I had not copied and pasted anything else on my computer since that. So, luckily, I was able to paste again. :D
So...note...if it is taking too long...copy and paste your response in the email notification of in a Word doc. It will save you from having to type everything all over again.
Sorry you lost your response. I know it sucks!!!!

i think maybe because of the server response time is longer because of connection problem or heavy use or the server making everything slow down, ending up an error page or a blank page. i got this problem a few times also. another problem i got is, a totally different response to a few of my discussion. perhaps this is a bug in myLot programming or something. and my recent problem was with private messaging, sent a pm but the person on the other end didn't get it. maybe someone should report this to myLot or something? i dunno...

This problem occurred to me few times and all i did was just copied the messages i have typed on to a note pad and then logout of notepad. Later when i login i will select the same discussions and then paste the response and proceed. I guess that cause of the upgrades mylot is doing there might be some problems.
Even i did end up posting double posts some 4 r 5 times and i had to apologize to the person. Well i guess you can check the time of updating the earnings, stop posting at that time and see to that if you feel the site is slow then as i said copy the message you typed and then close the browser and open it again.
