Just now i was posting a reply to my friend's discussion. i added one smiley there. Just after posting, i pressed the post response button. It was not posted.
Rather i got a message, guess what?
It says " This post contains a smiley and you can post a smiley when you have post more than 200".
Just think what to say now?
Again i had to login and post that?
I think its bug here in this layout.

That's funny, but not really funny at all considering the effort
we put into our responses. I never had that experience though
and I haven't seen any bug here except that when I opened
my browser, I was logged out by mylot.
So I just log in and check the "remember me" box. I hope they
won't log me out next time.
I thought I have encountered a bug earlier but it was really my
fault. A member here is asking how to add text to an html code
without making it appear that the text is glued to the banner.
I type some codes and when I pressed the "post response"
I was send to the same page with my response gone. I do it
over and over about five times before I knew that I am not
allow to post html codes here.
Before, when I post html codes, I receive warnings. But now I
don't so I thought it was a bug.
Maybe mylot should reinstate that warning thing.
Have a nice day!

Yep, there are still quite a few bugs that need to be worked out. I was getting strange error messages the other day but I haven't been online much since then and I understand that they shut down for a bit yesterday so they're getting there.

Yea. There's quite a few bugs. One of my friends complain about her keep getting log out of mylot. She took 4 attempts to complete her reply to my discussion. =S
So far, I consider myself lucky. I haven't encounter any bug.
The only bug problem I encounter has to do with uploading images. This happened for both the old and new layout. I always cannot upload my pictures properly. Sometimes my pictures end up in another post.

Well, I was unaware of the smileys until recently. I don't think 200 is a milestone but 500 really is. Since then I'll be able to copy and paste.

These things do happen. So bugs are anywhere but I won't get annoyed.

Hi, i dont't think it is a bug..it generally happens when your account automatically logout after you remain idle for more than 5 minutes..Then you have to login again and the message you got will not appear..
I think the same happnend with you..U must be logout at that time..
try it once again..Write to a post contining smileys and before pressing the post response button, remain idle and do nothing and den see it..
I hope this is the reason but not very much sure..

Oh my, that just has to be a blip in the system. Have you ever tried to upload pictures ? or did you copy and paste? if you cant do these then it maybe worth contacting mylot.

Hi subha12
Well I logged into mylot after a long time. Didn't knew about this problem but that's really sad to know that users are experiencing these type of problems. Surely smileys add a lot of aliveness to the discussion

hey, but you already got like 10 000 responses! how come it said you got only 200?
that I can't understand!

You were automatically logged-out from the system. That might had happened to you. Since the day they done the upgrade of the site, a lot of members posted different problems they have encounter. And I have also one discussion I started regarding such problems. I just hope that mylot has already fixed such bugs with the new layout. KEEP SMILING = NEIL

Sounds like it must be a bug. And you obviously have more than 200 posts, haha, over 10k posts, so a bug being on this site would make sense.

OMG. If I were you I'd do a major double take. I mean here you are, with a post count over ten thousand and boom, you're not allowed to post a smiley. I'm not sure whether I'd be highly amused or annoyed. Heh. But I guess we're bound to experience all sorts of bugs with this new layout. Makes me wonder what will be the most riddiculous/annoying one.
Have a good mylotting

hi friend,oh, i am sorry to hear this frustration on you.I indeed met a problem when i write a long discussion on mylot when the first day of the new layout used.BUt i have fixed the problem by myself.i have not met a problem when i post a smile expression..I think it is just a systme erroe, why not try again later? I hope it is ok now for you.
Good luck

Hi subha12. Don't worry, this kind of situation happened to me too yesterday. I was posting a response and just like you, a message appeared. Well, there's a lot of things that are happening here. My response got posted but it didn't count on my posts. Funny isn't it? But it was really annoying. I hope this gets fixed immediately. Good luck! [b][/b]HUGZ!

good day.. yes I guess that it is possible that there are bugs from this new layout. I think we should make a thread about it and post it here so that we can let mylot fix it. thanks.

I get annoyed with those bugs. I cant add smiley or something. I cant even copy and psate. Why?

That's happened to me before, usually when I left a response page open for too long and myLot logged me out for not being active enough. It confused me at first, but at least you don't lose the post!
