RThi sused to happen to me quite often Gatley, but it hasn't been going on lately? When I cleared my browser cache and restarted my PC, it stopped! I also use an Opera browser now and that helps too.

These days strange things keep happening all the time. May be some server problem. Due to heavy traffic on the site, connectivity problem arises. Even I have been subjected to such problems. I never make a mention of these things.

meapas it was so odd I had just wondered if it was internet or mylot that was the problem. because there was a flash of white light' Iam beginning to think it was something else.

That happened to me the other night. The site was down for about 5 or 6 hours. I could not respond to discussions because it would reload a blank page for me to respond again. I hope it is fixed now.

hmm well Im not sure exactly as it did not happen to me. Perhaps it was just your internet connection. It has happened to me in the past before. i dont think it would be mylot though unless some others were experiencing difficulties though too. Im sorry for your troubles and I hope you get your question answered. Happy mylotting!

Yeah that happened to me recently but before that not for a long time . It used to happen a lot a while back. It probably is a good idea to sign out when we finish and sign on again next day but I never do that.

I have come across that certain individual who is never tired of posting his heart contents about the mysterious mylotter who seems not to take notice of this poor man's sick heart that is torturing him everyday without even bothering to reply. See how love can knock a person out of his senses. I have also encountered on several occasions of my page suddenly missing and is asked to sign in again. Yesterday I posted a response only to find it disappear and told to rephrase my words to content certain requirements that they normally asked for. I don't know whats happening to mylot lately. Just have to tolerate it, maybe mylot is doing some maintenance work to their programs.

It also happened to me. I would have written out a long post and then it wouldn't go through and I couldn't post it. Once, I found a discussion I really like when the mylotter asked who likes puzzle and I was writing about how my mother makes big gorgeous puzzles and glue them up to hang around the house like paintings but I lost my post and had to write it again. All the mylot updates doesn't seem to be helping much

I don't know what happened. I do know that in the past couple of days I have had some trouble getting into mylot. I'm sure it was just a glitch of some sort and not you, Hatley

I would not worry Hatley it has happened to me before, it is just a temporary disconnection and not worth worrying about unless it persists. As you probably know strange and wonderful things have been happening on MyLot lately but they always get resolved in the end. I know how annoying it can be to lose everything you have just been working on; it wouldn’t want to happen too often!

Hi Hatley! It sounds like you had a very slight glitch in your power. We get that once in a while. Sometimes we have to go around resetting our clocks, other times we don't. Frustrating when that happens when you are in the middle of a response. When that happens to me, I forget half of what I said the first time...lol.

hi both of you what you are saying sounds just' like the answer to the problem, and my clock on the computer now reAds about five minutes off I have a power surge strip but maybe whatever' this was just got past that. I know that here in GoldCrest there are a lot of us computer users and I m sure the complex does use a lot of' electricity too.
