Has anyone ever become frustrated with myLot?
I can definitely say, I have. :-)
It seems as though almost every time I am right in the middle of adding my input in a post that something happens and I have to start all the way from scratch. I am not having connection problems, so that is not the issue. :-)
Have any of you ever had an experience with myLot that seemed to disturb you? :-)

Hello people,
I havent been a member of myLot for a long time as I am sure you would notice from the number of postings I have done so far LOL. But ... here is a thought ... if you experience this a lot of time, then one of the thing that you can do is write your posting in Wordpad (at this point I am assuming that you are using Windows Operating System). You can then copy and paste your posting from Wordpad to myLot. I dont know if this helps but if I start experiencing the problem you have just mentioned then this would be the way I do it ^^.

Oooh, you poor baby. :-) Yes, you are definitely new. :-) The thing is that the only way you can copy and paste is if you have racked up 500 points. Until then, the only thing you can do is say, "goodbye" to your attempted post. :-( Sorry to disappoint you. :-)

Hahaha, yeah I realised that I could only copy and paste around 50 letters if I did it using the method suggested earlier but I still prefer that over typing everything all over again ^^. Sorry I did not tell you about that part earlier and yeah I realised that as u mentioned if I were to copy a lot more stuff then I have to at least reach that 500 rating. Thanks for the feedback though hehehe.

From time to time I have had issues with this site, and it can be quite frustrating for sure. Sometimes it might just be you have too many windows open that is creating the problem, or depending on where you are at, and how many people are in your area accessing this site, it could be that as well. Just don't give up... I usually find it does go away in time for sure.

Oh-uhh...i thought i am the only one experiencing it! My pc's on a router so i just come to accept the fact that three people using it at the same time slows down the connection. Well, now i know i am not alone! The first time that happened to me had me so frustrated because i spent almost thirty minutes gathering my thoughts, typing, rephrasing and editing four paragraphs then all of a sudden the page just went blank! Just imagine how i reacted to that! It has taken me quite a hard and long time digging up my English and carefully putting them together then the words just disappeared!!!
I learned my lesson from that very first moment so now i always make it a point to check if the connection's working properly and when i'm in doubt i copy my "composition" by writing it on a piece of paper that i always have ready nearby.
Hi LaSenyoraSilis! Glad you brought this topic out. Mow we have a club for frustrated ones like us! hahaha!

I have experiencing the same thing with you. Sometimes it happened multiple post accidently because we thought it was an error so we post it again. I have ever seen some content management system that can prevent the user from multiple post on a same text or content. So i think mylot's admin should use the same method for their user's convenience. Multiple post on a same time is also kind of bandwidth wasting. I hope mylot's admin read this post and will upgrade their posting script. Thanks anyway for sharing this good topic. Have a nice day and happy mylotting.

Yes, I agree, the administrators should definitely find a way to fix this little problem that we are having. :-) Thanks so much for sharing. :-)

Yes, yes, yes, I am have the exact problem. I tried to respond to someone's post with a great response and all of a sudden the entire box was empty. I think I was hitting the enter key and the highlighted material disappeared. Oh, how I miss my undo tab on microsoft works:

Did you tried it with different browser. Clearing the cache might help also. I haven't had this type of problem .

Hey 
I joined mylot over one year ago , and when I first started it took time to figure it all out LOL . Then when I was getting the hang of it I would be all done with a post (keep in mind most well longer ) go to post and nothing . I figured it was a glitch and it was because it only happend a few nights in a row , but what a pain in my bum ;)

It happened to me at times, especially when some kids around are playing or somebody called yeah interruptions does get away what I have in mind at the time when I am in the middle of answering discussions. But often problems like internet connections does happened as well. But on slow internet connections I make a quick jot in the notepad.
