I think I got ripped off!

I responded to a few discussions yesterday before I went out, all very long, detailed responses like usual, but I noticed when I was clicking "post response" after I was done, it just went right back to the same screen as if I had just clicked "respond to this discussion"... There was no "submit tags", nor even any of my response anymore! It was completely gone, even when I tried backing up with my web browser. I figured, Okay, maybe it's just some kind of website glitch and they'll show up later, because honestly, I didn't feel like typing all of them again. BUT... Today, there is no record of me doing much of any mylotting yesterday. I mean, I know it was only a few cents or so, but still... What do you think? Like... How would you feel? What would you do? Why do you think that happened? Note: I copied this to my clipboard before clicking "start discussion" just in case. Haha.

It could be a number of things actually. Perhaps the discussion you were resonding to got deleted. Or, prehaps the site is having some technical glitches as one other user suggested. What I try to do is copy my whole response after I type it out, before I submit it though. that way, if things go badly I stil have a copy of my response on the clip board. another thing you can do is type it out in note pad. Unfortuneatly, you have to have a certain number of posts before you are allowed to use the paste feature. the policy was designed to discourage cheaters.

Yeah, I've started copying things before sending just in case. But I didn't know about the pasting policy! That's kinda neat, though probably very inconvenient. Hahaha. Thanks. :]

i usually check the number beside my username....if its the same as the last i post then its alright. As for the earnings....you won't get much responding to discussions. Its better to start your own discussions and have people respond to yours. The more people respond, the more you'll earn.

Yeah, I hadn't thought about checking the number beforehand. Wasn't really expecting them to not work. Haha. But yeah, I wasn't worried so much about earnings. More like I wasted some time on those responses and nobody even gets to read them. Sigh. Oh well. Hahaha. Thank you! :]
