Never show up while others are there. What do I do wrong for only about half to be there?

hmmm this one showed up.

The times it has happened to me were because after the preview I failed to Submit.

I know that some posts have been lost during an upgrade of the system - but that rarely happens.
Someone more tech savvy than me should be able to help. What kind of operating system and browser is involved?

I'm thinking it is because the submit button does not get clicked or maybe I hit the post reply button or just because. All my technology is Mac...both iMac and iPad. I know all my posts are extremely important and some of the more significant ones never make to the site; just so I haven't been put put on the watch list.

Touchscreen technology... it'll never be the same.
Everything worked perfectly when there was a big honkin SUBMIT knob to crank.

From time to time, I have had it happen too. Sometimes it is because someone has submitted a new post while I was posting. You need to stay there and be sure that your post was submitted before you click 'submit' and go. Create all of your posts using the 'Full Editor & Preview'. There is an automatic save function there. If you do that and your post doesn't show, then just hit the back button until you are on the page where you created the post or go to the 'Load quick draft' and then try to post it again.

You are on the watch list cause I watch all your posts

Yeah I can see issues there...I have had posts not go through due to...lets see if I remember, invalid form submitted, from waiting too long (hours), and another user has replied and you might want to change your post. (which I totally disagree with the very concept) . Both the errors have caused my not go through, and depending on the browser button clicking, they could get lost.

But almost always I know they were lost.

I've seen similar issues in the PM system and some odd things get barfed up into the subject line from time to time. And having to resend something because it didn't go.
Good advice from Patti there.

Patti always has good advice.

Patti usually has good advice. Sometimes she needs correction.

No one is perfect. If you were perfect you would loose your charm. And that's why we have correctional institutions and attorneys and police just for you so you don't get out of hand.

Ya, I have had it go wonky and wondered why, but then I saw someone else posted before me I knew it had to be that.

Easily explainable.
Half of your posts were not "politically correct", so the official censor running this forum removed them.

But then, I am 100% non-political. The story may be originally written with an agenda in mind but knowing how sensitive some people are about almost everything my internal censorship button deletes everthing questionable so when it is in doubt !@#$%^&*(*())__+_+. Daggone spellcheck and censor button strikes again! Cumbayah everybody.
