recently ive been having trouble posting, bout every other time it comes up a connection prob. not a big deal except when you spend 5 min writing something and go to post it and bam its gone, you have to start over. just wondering if its my computer connection or the forum? has anyone had this problem?

 

I have been having problems logging in, I thought that I was finally booted from the site.
I have had your same problem before, clear your history and clear your cache` and cookies on your computer, then re-boot it.
That solved my problem.

 

I clean her out every time I get off the internet. maybe it will get better. for now i just copy what i wright so i can paste it if it screws up.
did it again

 

Remember last summer when it was screwing up? Thats how I got such a high post count, you could only post single sentences.
Anything more than one line and it would not post it.
So you would type one line...(hit post)...then pick up where you left off...(hit post)...then once again continue with you post.
And you know how much I ramble, so I just went on and on and on and on and racked up my post cound and keep racking it up and up and....

 

Spike...you need a blog or twitter...I'd follow you're rambling...er, I mean, informative and enjoyable posts...seriously.

 

Thought about a blog, dont know how or where to even start.

 

Just sign up for twitter. If you can handle posting one line at a time, it's perfect for you. ;-)

 

Did anyone else notice that there are currently over 500 people viewing the Discovery section? It's usually in the 25 to 60 range so I suspect something is wrong here.

Hey Tweak, what I always do before I post here or anywhere is copy the text onto my computers clipboard. In case you or anyone dosen't know how:

1) Position your curser at the begining of the text. In this post I would put it before the capital D up there where I wrote "Did anyone else notice..."

2) Hold down the left button on my mouse. The trick is HOLDING DOWN the button as opposed to clicking it. As you hold that left button down, move the mouse down to the end of the post. This will turn all the text blue. That's called blocking the text.

3) Once it's all blue, let go of the left mouse botton and click the right mouse button once. This will force a drop menu to appear. In that menu left click on "copy".

This puts whatever was in blue into a place on the computer called the clipboard. You can't see it but the text is there until the computer is shut down or something else is copied unto the clipboard.

4) Position the cursor anywhere that you could type in, right click to bring that menu down again and left click "paste" and the exact same text that you copied will reappear.

Like I said, this has saved me much trouble and pain when a post or email or whatever doesn't do what its supposed to. You don't have to write the whole thing over because it is copy and pasted into you computers clipboard. It only takes seconds to do so I do it everytime. Kind of like a Rover. A little bit of maintainence save a whole lot of heartbreak.

 

Shortcut:

After you compose, and before you hit Post: Click in the text window (though you should actually already be pointed there if you just finished writing), and hit Ctrl-A (Select all), then Ctrl-C (Copy to clipboard).

Same result, but quite a bit quicker, and you don't have to take your hands off the keyboard.

 

I have also had the same probs listed above for the last few days, cant log in, cant post, or It'll let you log in and not let you reply to a thread, on Wed it said there were 1282 viewers on the Disco section !!!!!!!
