Well, my problem is simple.. I have a terrible internet connection at home, so every time I want to post something at mylot, something seems to happen to my connection and after I click the orange "post" button, the page won't refresh anymore and it stays in the same reply page.. so, I reload the page and paste my response and click again in the button but the same thing happens, and then I check the discussion where I want to post and I see 2 or 3 replies from me with the same content.. I'm affraid that the moderators think that I'm a spammer or something like that, but I cannot delete the repeated post.. Does this happens to you people?

Grrr... that's bad. Other than that you got your account at stake. It never happens to me, because I have a very good internet connection so this makes me point the root of the problem to your internet connection. So all you can do to get rid of this problem and save your account is to change your internet connection.

Well, there are many times that even with Higher Speed Internet access that this site has issues as well. It is not just your server probably as well. Just might be only a small part of it. Sometimes I think the problem could be if myLot is able to keep up with the Growth here to be able to have the page load like it should as well. Just my thoughts.

Hello.I am so sorry to hear this,I have this experience too,especially when I ccame to mylot at the beginning,I wanted to make a lot of posts,and I am anxious,then I picked the orange button again and again,but it didn't do,then I even angry,I didn't come to mylot for months,then I know that because my computer is relatively slow reaction,then I should wait for it automatly refresh,then it is OK,perhaps you have the same problem as mine,I wish this can bee usefull.

dear i am using dsl and for the past two days we are having a tough time with it as the server is down in the whole city and they say that it will be done and running soon and we had never had a problem with the providers and they are very good in responding too. but when i was using dial-up it is a terrible thing to happen. all your hard work gets lost,it is really bad and i had developed a habit of copying all i have written on the internet before posting it on any site i used before.
and now it helps and even if it happens, i will have all the work i had done. but it seldom happens now when i have upgraded to dsl.
hope all this has a happy ending!!

Oh, that stinks. It must be very frustrating. I've never had that kind of problem. I guess my connection is pretty good. Maybe you should check to see if your post was submitted before you resubmit it. I would copy and paste it into an email and send it to yourself. That way you always have a backup.

well, thanks for the advice.. the think is that if when I'm posting takes long time to refresh the page, when I'm trying to see the discussion will be the same.. If I post and I try to see the discussion and after that I try to post again it will be a never ending loop

I have experience that one too before. Not here though but on my friendster account. When i share my view to other members my messages failed. So i attempt several times and to my surprised. When i check there is a lot of response from me. It is annoying and i didnt like it at all. Glad that i didnt experience that anymore.
