My Discussion Wouldn't Submit

I was busy yesterday cleaning and preparing food for company we were expecting today. I was already tired out but sat down with my ipad when I finished with my chores. I caught up with comments and wrote a short piece to submit, but it didn't submit. I tried for about five minutes and finally gave it up and got ready for bed. Has this ever happened to you? It aggravated the heck out of me, my ipad is usually faster but I'm on the computer now so I'll see what happens. Hope you all had an eventful Sunday. See you all tomorrow.

When I'm on my iPad, I learned to log in and not do anything else before writing a discussion. If I comment or respond, then try to create, it doesn't work for me.

@DianneN, Maybe on static mood or hanging mood, like what I sometimes experience.

I never had this problem, but I have heard that others who use their phone encountered the same problem.

@cacay1 I only use my computer, never the phone and it seems that those who use their phones or tablets have this problem. Of course a wifi connection is always slower than a cable connection.

@LadyDuck , You are lucky. I always have this kind static or hanging mood and sometimes see on screen Time Error.

I wonder why this was. It hasn't happened to me but I have a desktop computer rather than an ipad.

I've had that problem a few times. It does happen every now and then both on my tablet and on my desktop too.

I thought it might have been because of a heavy load on the site.

It may have been blocked by the filter. The profanity filter does not just pick up bad words, but sometimes puts two separate parts of words together and reads them as bad. When this happens there is usually a small red message below the box explaining it.

I had that happen once - it didn't seem to submit, but then I looked at the most recent list and it was there 3 times!

That is odd, but mine would not,. I was silly enough to try again last night and it still wouldn't submit.I will try occasionally to see what happens.

I've tried working with my tablet, but it is super slow and hard to write anything, so I stick to the computer. It has happened, but not often.

That hasn't happened to me, but it doesn't mean it won't. The internet is a strange place where sometimes things work and other times they don't!

You're right about that. This program 10 gave me fits to begin with but I'm getting used to it. It still isn't any fun.

I learned to copy before I submit then if it doesn't submit the first time I paste.

Wonderful, I'm glad to hear it. I was too busy to enjoy it and that's a shame but getting ready for all the company tired me out.
