To anyone with more than 500 posts...

LOL, I've been here for over a year. Thanks for the compliment, though. Nice to meet you!

- it just happened again as I was about to post this!! I get up to answer the telephone, the call takes all of two or three minutes and it signs me out!!! Thanks for BR anyway

We're on the same page. Thank you for your response!

That's 20 closer to 500. You'll get there. Welcome to myLot!

Don't worry, you'll get there sooner than you think. In the meantime, I see you're about to break 100. When you do, you'll get a colored star next to your username. Welcome to myLot!

Ooh, that's strange. You've got nearly 700 now, so you'd think it would let you by now! What happens when you try? Is it still giving you the message about how you can't copy and paste until you reach 500 posts? If so then something's gone a bit wrong and maybe you should contact myLot.

thanks santuccie!:) yep, guess i'll be spending more and more of my free time here.. happy mylotting to you my friend.:)

You call it like you see it; myLot has everything to offer. Just 58 more posts to go! I look forward to seeing more of you around. Your post is meaningful, and you have such a pretty face. Love that smile! Happy myLotting!

Hi ferdsNK, In this case, I don't think it was security related. I had typed out a post in Notepad, and was trying to paste it into the submission box. I would login, and when I went to paste, I would get the 500 post bit. I had to re-login three times before it went through. It's a bug. This was the first time I ever experienced something like this, and it hasn't happened since I started the discussion. But myLot has a history, and this problem was present when I was a newbie, before I'd reached 500 posts. And the "remember me" box doesn't seem to fix the problem in my case. Fortunately, since I've reached 500 posts, I have a safety net. Thanks for the response!

Is that milestone in view yet? You're almost there! Thank you for your response, and a good day to you too.

I have to work on it. But next week the children are three days with my grandmother, so I have the time to work on it. I know I will get to 500 then. Have a nice day

You can do that too, but when you're done, at least copy everything to the clipboard. That way, if the unexpected should happen after you've spent half an hour typing a nice, long post; you won't be pulling your hair out. Thanks for the response!

That is very good advice but I think after I end up puling my hair a couple of times I may start copy/pasting.

My pleasure. And thank you for your response. It sure is frustrating when that happens, isn't it?

You're right. I'm sure myLot has more than one server in order to accommodate up to 137,460 users. The only kind of server I know of than can handle several thousand requests from moment to moment is a DNS server, and that's just to resolve URLs to IP addresses. The "remember me" checkbox helps a lot (although it's not foolproof), but in the meantime, I fortunately have my fail-safe. Thanks for the response!

I think you are right about the servers. I never used to have that problem...until the last upgrade. Now it keeps me logged on all day some days and other days it logs me out several times a day. I have learned to glance up at the upper left corner of my screen now before I post anything to be sure I am still logged in. That makes it unnecessary to type my post first in Word and then copy/paste it later into Mylot. It has caught me off guard a couple of times, but usually not as it is a habit now.

Yeah, they really should save the data! And thanks, I guess I'll just work hard till I get there. :]

Cool stuff, NoteTab. I'd never heard of it before now. I think it might be time for an upgrade. Cheers!

And isn't it great to be here? Friends have gotten me to join PaidForum, DormCheck, Yuwie...even MySpace. Every one of them is so impersonal compared to myLot. It's hardly perfect, and less so IMO since the "upgrade." But it just doesn't get any better than this.

Hi, It's myLot. Session cookies last longer if you check the "remember me" checkbox, but every now and then it just fumbles. If my Internet connection cuts out for a moment, the bubble pops up upon restoration. And that happens maybe once a day, if that. Anyway, my pleasure. I'm glad you haven't had any problems, but better safe than sorry. ;) Cheers!

Ooh, I don't remember. I think I reached it within the first month or two. A helpful strategy is to check your interests tab. I could go help out a bunch of people in the computer forums if nothing else looked good. It's been over a year since I joined, possibly close to two years. I'm busier now than I was then, so I've slowed down a bit. But I make the time when I can. Happy myLotting!

I agree with you. I usually just respond as well; I haven't started very many discussions of my own. And this is my very first discussion that has gotten more than 20 responses! Like you, I can't respond to just anything. I have to be somewhat interested. Thankfully, there's over 100,000 people here. Check out your interests tab and see what you find. Happy myLotting!
