uuurrrggg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ahh man! I just got the runtime error trying to respond to your discussion! I'm not gonna type everything I did before, but I'll summarize it for you ;). Just leave the discussion alone for awhile and go do something else, then when your mind is refreshed come back and start anew. I know how frustrating it can be.

Hi {{double}} That's happened to me to many times, I can't copy/paste here yet until I reach my 500 score so being the windbag that I am, I have lost a few things and when it happens to me, I just throw a big old fit here, cuss a lot rant and rave and then just log off...(sigh)! it sucks! But you've got a high number here so Like others here if you think you might be typing something out that is lengthy I would suggest using Word too or something you can "save" while typing it ; That's the worst thing to have this great big long story, article whatever and then it goes BYE BYE SEE YA! That just makes me "mental" more so than I am (G)!

That's too bad, I think we've all had that problem at one point or another here on mylot. I know it can be frustrating, but just leave it alone for awhile or go and do something else. Then come back to it when your mind is refreshed.

Hi doubleloveyou. I haven't had that happen when I started a discussion or posted but I did have it happen when I tried to get into my messages. I thought it was just me but I guess they are having problems today. Try copying the discussion so if it happens again all you have to do is paste it. Maybe that will help. Have a good lotting day.

this is why I so badly wanted copy and paste...and everyone kept asking me why and telling me I shouldnt abuse it and all the other la-ti-da... I hate when Im typing something, trying to write something so it would make sense, but then someone comes or something happens and I cant just save drafts, I have to either delete it or post it not finished. Or when something like runtime error occurs or internet connection fails.. I bet you felt like screaming ;)

Ah, that has happened to me to. Thats why I always copy the text before hitting the submit button. I know how it feels to lose all of your text only because of some stupid error. Also, if I lose my text I am usually so frustrated that I just leave the computer to do something else. Like eating or watching TV so that I can calm down from the loose. :/

Well when I was under 500 posts and not allowed to use the copy and paste feature I would try my best to remember what I wrote. Sometimes it would work out okay, other times not so great. Another thing I did after I got fed up with losing my posts due to an error was type it out first in a separate program. That way if it happened I could retype the whole thing all over again. Not a fun thing to do, especially if it is a lengthy post, but it worked for me. But now that I am over 500 posts I use the copy and paste feature for this very reason. I don't like losing what I did so I do my best to make sure not to let it happen again...

God dont you hate it when that happens. That has happend to me so many times to me before mainly because the internet shuts off and I dont realise it. But what I would do is write your post in microsoft word or some other word form then that way if that happens to you you will have the post and can just try it again thats pretty much what I do now.

Hi there! It's happened to me too I rewrote it but it didn't come out like the first one. First attempts are better I feel and second time around it's never so spontaneous. I'm curious though so please do it again

That's really annoying and so frustrating. I have been there many times and been frustrated many times also. But I learned my lessons now, I always copy/paste it before hitting the post discussion or post response buttons and it works wonder to me. In fact the connections is acting up again just several minutes ago and I have done my trick and I have no information lost and I don't need to rewrite it from the beginning. Since you already have more than 750 posts, utilize the copy/paste feature, you don't have to paste it somewhere else. Just highlight it and copy and if ever you encounter the same problem, what you have copied is still there then paste it.

That really sucks. :( That happens to me a lot on Sundays for some reason. Only on Sundays. Maybe myLot does weekly maintenance on Sundays? But, again, you are having this problem on a Monday, so never mind. I don't know. I also just get in the habit of copying it so that I can paste it when myLot is working again.

hey dont be sad, you are not alone. Same thing happen to me. =) I guess next time if i have long post , i will paste it first in word so that the ideas are still there...however you still need to retype it.

That has just happened to me twice just now. I am fed up with this ****. It is doing my head in. You might not see this either as I hate going back and writing them again. I might start using my notepad and writing them there first. At least I could copy and paste them if this keeps up. O my. I was going to do this discussion too, until I caught this one. Hope this gets sorted out soon though. Yes it makes me real mad too.

That would make me go crazy. I have had stuff likt that happen when I wam writing stuff for my blog. Just yesterday I was writing for my blog and my little boy was sitting beside me on the floor , well he got the funny idea to push the button on the computer and turned it off!!

I hate that when I get a post or a response just the way I want it and then it won't post and what I typed is lost forever and can't be found...Retyping it remembering what I wrote is almost impossible and my time is more valuable then that! It makes me want to give up for sure!!! ~Heavens~

Yes i know how you feel. it's so frustrating if such things happen. As to how I would react, it depends if I had a lot of time on my hands then I can be patient and try to do it all over again. but honestly, more often I just let it go. it was not meant to be posted.

It depends on how important it was to me to post it and if I have time today to do it again. Otherwise heck with it!

why error? why you mad?

That's terrible my friend!!!I understand your feelings..Till date, i have never came across a runtime error..Lucky Me.But you can very well recall atleast half of what you have typed earlier and can retype it..No other go..Am i right? Just relax for some time and START AGAIN..Happy typing
