Have you met this situation? You typed a lot and then it is failed to submit !

yeah, it happened to me too...and I was actually posting a discussion, but I guess it's just my net connection going haywire again...just try and try and try again, though now that I've reached 500 I copy all the things I type before hitting the post button, if anything goes wrong I can just paste it back again

If I have typed in a long response, I would try to switch to any tab in the browser and access myLot in it. It it works fine, then I quickly hit submit. I have been in the same situation too. There is nothing you can do but retype the whole thing as long as you are still under 500. The only thing to do is to step it up and get to 500 fast so as to put this behind and use the cut and paste thing. In the mean time, I still make a copy before I submit if it is a long post. At least I don't have to go through the thought process again. And if you don't mind, you can make small copy/paste, 6 to 7 words at a time which still saves some typing.

yes i do face many situations like this its irritate person a lot. It also has benefit to test our patience a proverb is there try and try until you reach the goal like that only we bust be trying or in between if you get disappointed wait for a wile go out relax for some time and do it again finally we can get it right?

This has happened to me last week. I have composed a long comment on one of the discussions in here. It was about 3 paragraphs long and upon hitting the post response tab, it appeared the message that it failed and to make sure that the text contains only the characters that are allowed. I had everything checked and just like you, i can't cut and paste. I have tried retyping the comment 3x and it yielded me the same results. I tried to come up with a discussion regarding this problem, when i was about to submit, again, i was greeted by the same message of the submission failure. It was sort of frustrating but what can i do? I did checked when the last new discussion was posted and it appeared that it has been submitted hours ago, meaning many people had the same problem as I did. So I just waited for a few hours then checked whether there were new discussion or responses posted. I assumed that the technical problems in the site were already fixed. It was only then that i resumed posting.

It's normally for me , some people like me not good English ,waste a lot of time to write something ,but when you finished your job times out ,how do you know that --- you must login to submit this information --- after submit ! ::::( .

omg! i encountered such problem.. i just had it awhile ago..this is my second try..i hope it will work this time.. its quite frustrating and disappointing,i have to retyped over and over again.. i think this is not due to the internet connection because its fast when i open other websites.. i just hope this can be solved..someone who has the solution pls share..

Yeah. This happened to me. It almost always does every so often that i post here in.lot. So what i do is to copy the answer i have before i hit the send button. It always saves of time, and effort.

hongqistreet, Unfortunately, you are not alone on this and like you I had this experience for the first time here, last week. I believe this is one of the many glitches at myLot's admin end which resulted in these unsuccessful postings. As you are unable to copy and paste your posts, I suggest that you do it with your word processor and save the drafts there to avoid any loss of data for your posts and/or to re-hatch your post(s) again. At least, you can afford to take a break and come back to it when the system resumes to normal. Have a break and a nice day.

This always frustrates me. I would have something all typed up and sumbit it and then the computer freezes, or it doesn't go through or something. Then I have to sit there and type it all over again, and I hate when I forget something that I wanted to say.

I know how you feel,i also had same problem when i was a newbie here. it's really disappointing when we need to retype all the words again and again and it failed when we submit. But i hope this won't stop you for mylotting. This is not happening everyday. And try to make the most when the network is fine. you will soon realized that you've reached 500 and you can do the copy paste so that you will not have the same inconvenience once you failed to submit a response or topic. Enjoy mylot and have fun

Oh yeah, many times. It didn't fail actually, it is like time is up for my share time or something like that. When I tried to post again, it simply log me out of it. Then I have to log in again. Other time, the system just fail to post my discussion. It was like server error something like that.

Yes friend when my ranking not was 500 I am also faced this problem various time due to my net connection and i was also disappointed some time. So the best idea is before submitting you check your net connection.

god,i often encounter this situation!it also makes me feel upset.When the first few times,i just write the words on my site. Then with some experience,maybe we could make a backup to the words when wrote a lot of words or browsed other pages.HaHa,can not be lazy~

damn..this is my third time typing this response..obviously, i am experiencing your discussion right now.. i'm starting to hate "broadband"! hope we could switch to DSL.. =D

What is ranking 500? I don't understand that. Many times it happened to me. I don't have proper net connection and the message I typed failed to submit. But sometimes If I press the back button in the browser the message will remain on the screen. O don't know how. First we should have a good internet connection in order message the post successfully. Typing words is a big headache?

...Hi hongqistreet, Welcome to the ranch, enjoy yourself. That happened to me yesterday. After I put all the points in that I wanted to make, corrected all spelling errors and then hit the button, the comment disappeared. I have no idea why it happened, if it was my computer or some other type of failure in the system. There was nothing in the comment that was against any rule that I saw. So I was quite ticked at having to retype the whole thing all over again, but I did. I guess you just have to say stuff happens, but insert another word instead of stuff. "o) Take good care.

Yes I know how you feel as I have experienced that so many times.And yes I can somehow fix it now for having a plus 500 postings already. Sometimes it's got to do with internet, or the browser or cache or sometimes when Mylot server is having some problems too.So you must be patient while you haven't reached yet that limit where you can have the copy paste advantage. Just so you know, everybody have been like you at some point in their mylot life. good luck...(^_^)

It's really annoying!! I've also suffered from that in the past, and even now it happens from time to time. As far as I know, it's mostly due to a failure in the site itself and in the communication with you more than anything else, so I doubt we can do anything to prevent it from happening 100% of times. After having lost a couple of nice posts in many forums, I took the habit of copying everything before submitting, just to have the chance to paste thereafter if something goes wrong. Also I've found that a keylogger may help me so I've found and installed one, and when I even forgot to copy-paste, the log saves my day

I am also faced this problem several times. since my ranking under 500 I am not supposed to paste. I typed a long discussion. while pressing the submit button the problem arised. another time electricity went off. I am disappointed. However, I started again.

I already passed for this situation many times here in myLot. It's pretty bad, because you have to type everything again. One time is ok, but when happens more than once, I get really mad and usually I give up to, at least for that day. Usually, I refresh the page and it works.
