Is it just me or does anybody else lock up when trying to post? I take the time to compose a well thought out reply only to have it thrown in the gutter when I hit the submit button. I'm reduced to 5 word quick responses. Is this by design?
 
That has been my problem with this site and The Coronet Registry too. Forgive my computer illiteracy but I'm much more comfortable with carbs and points. For me the screen locks up and then finallly says do you want to leave this page? I choose no, then I hit the go advanced button and it asks again do you want to leave? This time I hit yes, it goes to the advanced screen and I hit submit. Somehow it works.

Don't ask me how I figured that out. I'm still trying to figure out where to screw the spark plug in..
 
I often get the " leave this page" and lock up too..............
 
I've had a problem like that for a long time, it usually just freezes and I have to recover the page. The longer it takes my to two finger type a response the more likely it is to happen... A lot of times I copyand save it as a word doc just so I don't have to type it twice.....I had to try this 4x's
 
I have done the copy paste thing too and and it ends up running words together just like your post.
 
Ya, I thought I typed things right and words always get put together... hmmmm
 
The spell check seems to cause a few issues after using it, sometimes it will redirect you to the forum, after correcting spelling issues, when you click back on the thread, boom it's gone & usually only when after you try to edit before it's posted, but only after using the spell check, it gone instead of posting the thread, just a glitch I guess... My brother in law is an expert IT/Computer guy he said "don't worry it's nothen' "... But you can sometime just go back & restore you post, if it auto-saved before the issues happened, or you just loose the most recent stuff & not all of the thread/post... I get the "leave this page" window almost every time I post a thread, unless it's a very short response, I do some lengthy posts sometimes...LOL... after I click on the "post quick reply" tab, I then click "yes" & it takes a few seconds at most, then loads the post/thread onto the forum... I figured it was the Mods just censoring or filtering, us with some sort of delay to see if we had stuff they don't like or something along those lines, "Big Brother is watching" it's only been in the last few months mostly, I know keep all my computer files, cookies, & history etc., cleaned regularly too, so it's not that....
 
Never had a problem yet here.

See there's your problem right there. You should be like the rest of us and never put any thought into your reply. :eek:
