What is up with this reset crap tonight? Just about every third response I am stopped with this thing about the connection being reset? Has anyone else gone through this? I so far have not lost anything but its nerve wracking as to reset it you have to have it all redone which gives off an eArsplitting sound. Can you imagine listening to a sweet Mozart compostion then having this sharp whistle like sound blast your ears? anyone else had this sort of problem tonight?Am I doing something wrong? I cannot imagine what. I am typing and checking for misspelled or words with letters left out then I get this connection reset thing.

I do not get noises with my reset. I had some trouble the last day or two. I did not know if it was my computer or the heat.

well, i was not on last night so im not sure what the problem was but yesterday morning, which is when i do my mylotting, mostly mornings. i did have a few times it didnt post and i had to start over. but the first time it does that to me, i then remember the best way is to copy it before you hit submit, then if you have to do over, you can paste it instead of typing out the whole dern thing again. every once in a while, this happens here. now, also next time you should turn off your sound so it doesnt mess with your nerves.

That would be irritating for sure. Are you sure this isn't your own personal connection? I doubt you are doing anything wrong. I just wonder if it isn't your internet connection giving you the problem. I hope you got it figured out. I hate computer problems! No fun at all.

It might be at your end I think Hatley, unless there was an issue here before I came online. I have not noticed anything like that happening today. It has happened in the past to me though. Hopefully it is better for you tomorrow. (which will probably be today I guess by the time that you read this!)

No, you are usually onto these things pretty quickly. I was confused by the email as I did not remember the discussion title until I opened it and saw it was 5 months ago! A Zillion mylotters! Wow, the population here is getting big!

Hi Hatley, it is easy to fall behind. I am trying to catch back up with the three weeks worth of friends discussions that I missed while I was away. I like this old expression. "I have told you a million times not to exaggerate!"

HI Hatley, I haven't been on today nor was I on too late last night and didn't hear that sound when I was on. But, I don't keep my speakers turned up either. I use earphones for jokes, music, etc cuz the sounds irritate hubbby. But, I think that is more your ISP........but not sure. Mylot did kinda mess me up with the searching tho yesterday and I sent an admin. They didn't answer me but I got a few cents there after ............ I am sorry I can't help out. Tell admin. maybe they'll help ya...........good luck and hugs a bunch. quita PS, sometimes when I respond and hit post response, it won't go thru GGGGRRRRRRRRRRR wonder why?

hi quita I am still in shock that I had missed commenting back on my own discussion here. I have not run into that problem much lately thank goodness . I just had one reset the other night but the retry downloaded my response and asked for a tab so was home free.

probably a connection problem at your end. I had been logged in for almost 4 hours already and i have yet to see the "reset" thing you encountered. There's a little lag before a post of mine gets through but other than that and mylot's warning that i'm abusing the search engine , everything's OK.

Hi Hatley, it's nine days later and I certainly can't remember any such irregularities occurring. I'm having trouble with my internet connection myself today. There is either no signal or a really weak signal ...so annoying. It seems to be OK for the moment however.

I learned a long time ago if I researched long and composed a starting discussion of some length that took days to put together, save it in a file first, copy and paste it in, and then if the system resets (happens to me about every three or four days regularly) But when I forget and it happens, I just say "Screw it." such is life. i will survive.

I just moved to a new place which has wifi internet connection. Ive been having the reset problem since i moved here. Its really difficult to chat with all that going on too. Plus my home phone is a magic jack. That isnt always working good now either. Oh well its free and iam connected most of the time. Anyway everything is just for awhile. Things are changing all the time.

hi yes different strokes for different folks. to me it was annoying and i just sort of wondered if others were having the same problems. I see nothing wrong in this discussion as I do not think its broken any rules, and you cannot try another page at all, all you can do is hit retry and if the server will get you to the enter a tab you are home free with your discussion . other wise your response is just plain lost. and sometimes its been twenty minutes gone as I edit for error and typos. and losing a response several times a day is sickening although I have learned to copy myresponse to the clipboard and then if mylot tries to throw it away i hit paste and voila there is my response safe and' sound.

It's been quite a while since I've had a problem with anything on the mylot end. To me, especially with the earsplitting sound that you are talking about, it sounds like it is a problem with your connection from your service provider. A pain in the rear end I know if this is the case (I've been through things like this before) but something that could be fixed with a simple phone call. If the problem persists then I would definitely call your ISP and see if it is some sort of a problem on their end.

hi dorannmwin I emailed and found out umpty nine zillion California mylotters were all posting at the same moment so some had to wait; I hit retry and my post went through, slowly but it went through. I was horrified to find I had not commented on but one or two and its three months old.I think that must have been when I was on steroids and they made me so ill.

Hiya Hatley, I have come across that too luckily it has not lost what I was doing as I persisted in till it came right again. Actually I would like to hear Mozart than that ear piercing shrieky noise it gives off but most times I have the sound turned off anyway but it has happened. Our Television looks like a it´s got the jitters every few minutes it´s cutting out too like it´s got stuck. Maybe it´s a general problem all over. Could be they are having problems with all those things that are up there above us who knows where they are those satellite things. Someone has not checked them over very well and they might need readjusting? Our Television Channels are much worse than before with this problem so it´s a bit annoying when just for once you get really interested in something it gets the jitters.

hi lovinangels oh yes when your tv get the whimwhams its hard to follow your favorite programs. I found out that when it resets there I try again and get it posted at last. So at least I now know my computer is okay.But I was trulty shocked to find I had not commented back on here and that's not like me at all.

Hiya Hatley, Yep all those new Channels they have put on over here are just filled with Repeats of Repeats and loads of Adverts noisy Adverts. Now if you want to follow what is on tonight you have to go at a certain time of the Day and sit down for ten minutes and go through the whole lot. Even then you will not get all of it right because they change it to suit themselves and when they want. Well it is their Channels and not mine. So I try not to complain. I have managed to record a few good Films without too much hassle this Year. More to go yet though.

hi dragon54u at least when I get the reset thing I have been able to hit retry and my posts have gone through al though it really slowed things down a lot. I am so sorry I missed this discussion and had not commented on it in three months.but I have also lost responses for no reason at all. I moment I am typing on it and zoom it is gone and Ianm sitting here saying what happened?I do save some by writing on notepad and then copy pasting them back to the box.

Hi Hatley, I don’t have a great deal to add to your discussion because I was here working away around the time you seem to have experienced these problems and I didn’t encounter any hassles; the fact that I’m in a different country has got a lot to do with it I’m sure (LOL)! I just dropped in to say hi and hope it’s all resolved for you. What I do experience on a regular basis here is my responses don’t go through and I have to keep on trying, no error message comes up…Fortunately I type everything on Word before pasting it to MyLot!

Ms. Hatley, apparently yes that had happened here! in the office i've got stable and stunning fast connection but at home with my laptop, sometimes i've got a choppy connection and i hate it! gosh, darn it! and that's the usual course i always mutter of course! and so i have to plug and unplug to re-establish my connection until stable. i have suspect regarding your hardware status there ms Hatley, please have it checked. it might be a flaky and it needs updates too. it might be over used!and just like mine, was overused and so was overheat! and so i got it fixed and working fine now...
