imagine, i was so serious thinking of what to post. i made sure my grammar is fine and everything made sense. i clicked submit. sometimes there will be an error and i just need to refresh then it will be posted. but today, it didn't post, and it happened 3 times! of course losing the momentum, i don't think i could type another piece and repeat the thought.i already gave all my ideas and it annoys me. hehe anyway has this happened to you? just wondering.

Hi nikramos,
It happens where there is some error in web page or with connection problems. Now you don’t have the copy and paste feature you can do nothing but to type it again. Yes your patience is testing here by mylot. The solution is, hurry with your postings and reach 500 numbers as early as possible. Then you can copy the matter before submission then if there is some error happens you can paste and submit the same again.
It happens with me earlier, now I am copying the matter before hitting the submit button.

Yes, I experienced that when I was new here like you. So frustrating. If we can do copy and paste, we can copy first before submit our posting that way when the connection failed, we can just open and paste.
I think you need to reach 550 points before they let you copy and paste.

I know how that feels. I have had problems with mylot before when there's always an error and I can't really copy-paste because the feature wasn't activated that time yet (it gets activated after your 100th post). Which is why I'm happy that I could copy paste these days. It has actually formed a habit for me to copy before I submit my piece.
Hang in there, soon you'll have the ability to copy-paste and these troubles would be minor setbacks. Enjoy mylotting!

Certainly it did happened to me as well, it really pisses me off and its not funny. Really annoying, I even had posts twice or thrice posted not thinking that it was reposted again and again. Don't worry it happens to many of us here. Just keep on posting my friend.

It happened to me too. I was trying to give an answer to somebody, and i tried to give the best answer, wrote a lot of text, and when i hit submit i had an error. I was so unhappy because i had to begin and write all over; and part of my ideas were gone so the answer wasn't as good as the original one. But what can i do.... from than moment i use to hit ctrl+c every time i hit submit so i copy the answer i give so if i have the same problem i will have the answer intact :D

Although not often it has happened. It especially happens when I have pour my most inner thoughts into the response. Wouldn't you know it, it did not post. I have completely skipped the discussion as I cannot regain the momentum.
By trying again I would just babble so I just skip it altogether.
