Have you ever had this happen to you? You type out a long response to an important discussion and you click add response and it goes to the next page but it's blank and wont refresh. and then you hit the back button and the response is gone? i hate that so much.. let's get mylot to try to fix that problem for good by bringing attention to it. i will forward this to mylot for inspection. thank you for your responses in advance. any other ideas will be greatly appreciated

Yup that has happened to me a zillion times and I hate so much when that happens. That's when i think that what's the point in posting long proper answer when it doesn't get posted. I hate when that happens.

This is really annoying, specially when u are't allowed to COPY PASTE, so i figured out a easy way. When we Typing our Internet Connection Remains Dormant for "Quite Some Time" & when we send Information next time it may take a bit longer or even wont sent the information as a result of tht the page wont be "REFRESHED". I figured out a good way , the basic pricipal is to make my Internet connection work while i type.. like start a download in the background or better still open a resource Hungry web page like . "Gamespot" as it loads all it Flash & all so when it loads all its STUFFs u can Finish writng and POST ur Discussion & since the internet connecftion has been working all the time then it wont be a problem fo it to send ur Info. to MyLot Site Database. Easy... :D

this has happened to me countless times. it is very frustrating indeed. you spend so much time thinking and typing your response then it just disappears. there is probably a bug but i think mylot is already doing something about it becuase the frequency of this happening to me is decreasing.

yep i know it. it is so frustrating and i get tired of seeing it. cause it only happens to my long responses that i know a lot about. i hope mylot is doing something about it and it's good that it is decreasing for you. i havent been here very long. only about 1 week. thank you for responding.

Yes it has happened to me many times and made me just get out of My Lot for the day. Now I always try to copy anything I have written and paste it into a word program in case I need to re-write it or paste it. It is very frustrating when you have taken your time and replied with a good reply to lose it.

Yes, and this pissed me off to no end. Especially if my response is super long and really thought out.

That has happened to me many times. The first time it happened I was a little upset but I got over it. There is really nothing you can do about it. You just have to type your thoughts all over again.

I know what you mean. I've only been a member for a few days, and I've had the same thing happen. I retyped responses to one discussion 3 times before I finally just gave up on that discussion completely. It's really frustrating.

THIS IS THE FIX, it has bad words in it. IF YOU TAKE OUT THE BAD WORDS, the page will load.

nope cause i don't use bad words as you put it so that can't be the problem. But that was worth the try

I haven't had this problem recently but I have had it. I sometimes copied the response before I posted it and then could paste it again if the page was blank. Only worked this out after losing a lot of responses.
• United States
7 Feb 07
i haven't had this problem recently either. which is good. when i posted this discussion it was one of my first and i couldn't copy and paste yet. now that i can i will. thanks for responding.

That has happened to me a couple of times. Most of the time it doesn't go blank, but it says I've tried to copy and paste something when I haven't. It's really annoying when you've written out a really long responce and it gets completely erased. When that happens I usually can't reproduce what I already wrote.

Yes it also happened to me. I thought it was just my browser but no many of the members here have experienced it also. It happened to me twice this day. I was really annoyed because I typed a long response then suddenly it just happened.

luckily it has slowed down a lot for me. i think they have gotten the problem under some control. that's the worst time is when it is a long response.. :(thanks for responding.
