Are You Having A Problem Posting? Tell Me About It!

Hiya! Nice to see you again. Reminds me of your previous discussions that I havent been able to respond to yet. That kind of thing has happened to me a few times, both in the public myLot boards and the private messages. In the public boards I would normally type all that I think and thankfully now I can copy and paste so that when the post didnt go through I can always just paste the same thing and not have to start over again. That was not the case when I first started since I couldnt copy and paste yet and that was when I was brimming full of ideas that it would take me more than 4 good paragraphs just to respond to one discussion. I just pray back then that my post will be published, else Id have to try and start over again. I think that the posting problem (in the myLot public)is because of my internet connection. I also observed that when the title in the tab already says "Tag this discussion" but the page is still loading, it would mean that my response has been posted. But thinking that it wasnt yet so Id refresh the page, after submitting the tags, Id see double or even a triple post. Having observed that, whenever the page is slow to load, Id watch out for the title if it says "Tag..", then Id open another tab, copy/paste the discussion URL, then check if my post has gone through. Usually, it already is so I just close the slow loading page. Another incident is the "switcheroo". Posting responses in multiple tabs sometimes exchanges the responses. There has been an incident where one of my switched response seemed very inappropriate with the discussion topic that I asked for it to be removed. One of my frustrations is posting in Private messages. There are times that when I have already added the tags and submit the response, it would bring me to my messages page, making me think that it was already posted. But checking the username of the last responder, it shows that it wasnt me, meaning my message wasnt posted. Sure enough when I check the message thread, my post isnt there so Id have to post again. There have been times that Id try more than 3 times cause the message just wont go through. There were also times when after hitting the submit message button, the page would just be looped/refreshed to my myLot homepage. I think that's about the occasional posting issue that Id get when myLotting. I use the latest version of Firefox and I connect through Cable. I dont think the posting issue is specific to an Interest Category. This usually happens in posting responses, a few times in comments and a rare occasion for newly created discussions, a different matter on private messages though. Hope my post helped somehow. Looking forward to a better posting experience.

Hello alice, this is my big problem lately. I was wondering how this is happen when in fact i am not experiencing this before, ever since i joined here. The problem goes like this; After I sign in, i posted a reply but when i submitted it..it won't go in instead, there's a note below (red letters), "you have to be descriptive and blah blah blah.."I was wondering how could this be? I mean, I've been doing this always and why they asking me all these? In order to post my reply i have to sign back again so I could use the mylot code, since it's all gone also (the mylot code). After signing back for the second time...all my posted reply were already gone.. OMG it is so annoying and frustrating... By the way I am using latest version of Firefox... Thanks I hope this could be solved because it is so really frustrating knowing that all hard-think replies would all be gone after signing back in... Thanks a lot alice.. Mobhomeir here..

The only issue I had, is that it seemed like my responses disappeared after I posted them, or that it would show me the preview and would not go past that screen where you would be able to tag the discussion. I haven't had that problem today though.

I never have any problem in posting discussions, responses or comments. The only problem I meet is that sometimes the speed of login is too slow. I have to wait a long time to login.

Hi Alice, I use IE6... and to date I have not had any such problems... I use Windows xp and have a mid range cable connection... I guess I am reporting a non problem...

In China,the majority of people are using the IE browser,it is maybe from Microsoft, but I like the Opera browser. Befor, i also used to enter web from IE ,feeling that it's speed too slowly, later i found a new browser named Opera which could take me speed. At home,the linking style is dig-up, but the cable in my work . There is fewer problem ,Ths!

myLot is very slow to respond today and there have been a few discussions that I have been unable to respond to even after trying several times. I then tried to send a private message to user puppynut about a question on html, but the message would not go either. I am just making one more try on the site before leaving the site, having run out of time, to see if I can send you the message. - Derek

I rarely have problems. My browser is Firefox 3.5.7 Once I did duplicate post a discussion. I can't think of a single occasion where I thought I had posted one and it didn't post. I'm on DSL at home, T1 at work...

I use Internet Explorer and have cable connection, I am receiiving a Security warning any time I want to post to a discussion. It's in regards to the HHTP and states the one I want to receive from is not totally secure. Plese remember I am a total nurd when it comes to the computer. Thanks

I am not really sure whether the browser is related to the posting problem. In my office, I used the IE6 and sometimes that the comments could not connect to the post, I think it caused by the network broken. Now I used the IE8 at home, it seems that the network broken phenomenon seldom appeared. I am not sure if it is more of luck at home.

I have not faced this problem. Opening of pages is slow sometimes thats all.

Yes. Sometime I see my post double. And I want to give you a suggestion, If we have respond in one discussion, please disable the "respond this discussion" button. Sometime we forget if we have responded it. 1. Mozilla FireFox 3.5 2. HDPA Modem 3. I don't know 4. Response

yeah i have problems in posting my disscions throught internet in my phone most of the times the content i type is not posted the error shown is that only the presons with rating above 500 are allowed to paste the fact is that i did not paste

I'm a newbie and having problems posting. At first I used RobtheRoc instead of RobtheRock, so I understand my problem there. But when I signed in as RobtheRock, I still had problems. 1. I was using AOL 9.1 . 2. I use Broadband. AT&T. 3. My troubles seemed to be in the "what browser do you favor" and the html discussion. 4. It is when I am posting responses. Although I don't see any mention of my posting on the "what browser do you favor" discussion, I think the person who posted the question asked me to be a friend. I'm presently using Internet Explorer 7. It was a real hassle typing my responses over again because I couldn't paste it onto the site.

Hello GoAskAlice JI, Well, I have experienced many times, but to analyse at micr level, it is difficult at present, but in case it happens next time, I would remember and come back. I am having Broad Band connection with Internet Explorer. May God bless You and have a great time.

I only had this problem of duplicate posting once during Xmas day, that's on 25th of December, last year. I just know that when i press the post button, it didn't refresh and post my comment. Instead, it jammed there and i thought i haven't posted it, so i press 3 times and resulted my comment being posted 3 times.... I am using DSL and using Mozilla Firefox version 3.5 as my browser. So far, now i haven't experience any problem like this anymore.

Sometimes I've experience that when I'm done posting and verify for about 5 minutes, my post topic was gone, I don't seen it on my started topic, I'm using DSL connection here firefox as my browser.

I haven't any problem using mozilla firefox 2.0 and DSL internet connection, I am working properly on mylot for posting, aware just of one thing don't post any link or web url in your post.

Hi thanks for the message. As I didn't encounter any posting problem.And if I will encounter such issue, I will keep you posted. I'm using Mozilla Firefox and DSL as my internet connection. Once again thanks.

I am using mozilla firefox latest edition, and I never experienced anything like that since I started posting here in mylot. Happy mylotting!!
