Posts are not showing up on the forum

[Pengi]

Several times, I have posted a reply only to find that it is not showing up on the forum. I've been checking the time that I post the message and have noticed that someone else has posted a reply at the same time. The message warning me that someone else has posted does not appear.

Has anyone else experienced this?

[keerout]

No, can't say I have, but then, I don't post a lot....

All ok here Jane. I have been posting several replies with no apparent problem.

There's a setting in Vbulletin to stop spam, it's probably active, you can tue it to just deny multiple posting from the same user account at the same time, it's probably at some weird setting to disable multiple postings by any user at the same time stamp

Just went to post a reply and I got the warning message without any problem and Donkey has just posted a reply, so, no problems here (using Chrome)

This is not a recent issue, it has been happening intermittently over the past few months, maybe about ten times and can be frustrating if I have researched a reply. Now I take a copy of some of my replies in case they 'get lost'.

Sometimes I do get the warning message.

Have you done a deep scan recently for viruses/malware, just a thought

Yes, I regularly do scans. I am using Firefox on a Macbook Air (with Mountain Lion) at the moment.

Ah well, if you will use these strange machines, what do you expect (ducks)

Bit forward of you to call Pengy 'ducks'
Made me reach for my pint of Creme de Menthe, that did

Pengy - you didn't by any chance refresh the page when losing your message
That's the only time I have suffered the problem and, basically, it was warning me that someone else was posting - and it turned out to be me myself

I have found some messages take a bit longer than usual to appear but I just put it down to our lousy broadband connection here in Oz, 500kb sec if flying by Oz standards.

On a more important subject that Creme de Menthe sounds great Mike.

You are much better off with Blue Bols

That Creme de Menthe is some strong stuff - according to Billy Connolly that's what the pope drinks and they carry him everywhere in a chair.

No, I didn't refresh the page. This makes me think that maybe I was posting at the exact time that someone else is posting.

I've lost a post but very rarely.

I now write up anything more than a few words in Word and then copy n paste it in. Saves that huge frustration when your classic prose is lost into the ether!
