Posting replies at the same time as others

I'm quite happy with IE and don't suffer some issues others seem to have with other browsers

[mereman]

Is IE still about I haven't used it since IE6 launched, been with Firefox and Chrome as my backup.

I'm also in the still getting the red warning camp, sometimes I ignore it

Just had another post disappear into the ether. Using Firefox

[Tank]

Very strange.  I've never had it happen.

[Caz]

Nor me, I use Firefox most of the time but on WinXP sp3

I knocked out a rather long winded post to someone on Monday and thought it had gone OK.
About an hour later I could see it had only disappeared into the ether and by then couldn't get it back.

It's happened to me on several occasions. I know the advice of say, typing it on a word processor program and saving it first, blah.... but I still takes me chances. Most of the time my posts and short and sweet and not worth losing too much sleep about anyway, eh.

Still not happening to me. I always preview my replies first, to clear up spelling and grammatical errors (once a proofreader, always a proofreader), and then post. Could that be making a difference?

As a back-up, all you need to do is copy your finished message before you post it. If the post disappears, you can just paste and try again.

I preview my messages too  - particularly to check hyperlinks are correct. Doesn't seem to make any difference whether the posts go into the ether or not. It's not a big deal as I copy detailed posts

Sorry, did you say something?

Sorry but it's got to the stage where I just can't be ars bothered to try and recall them.
Maybe someone in the spirit world makes sense of them

I can understand this - so it's grin and bear it time for lost posts 

[daveg]

Lost a few myself but mostly I get the warning panel and am able to edit/send right away.

'Tis annoying though when you do lose a stunning piece of prose or an ingenious idea!

I know what NewportNobby means now.

On a smartphone you can't see the warning pink panel and are unaware of the issue until you check Own Posts and it isn't there.

The facility isn't very useful really. Maybe abandon it unless the system can't cope with simultaneous posts.
