Sometimes we take quite some time to type a long nice response and when hit the 'post discussion' button and!!!! you are logged out of mylot!! and lost all that you have typed, i am sure it gets frustrating, isn't it? it has happened so many times with me as well... all that thinking you put into that long response just gone missing somewhere! angry... well this is something you would want to do if you don't want to type it all again, click the sign in on the top of the page and log in and hit the back button of the browser two times, after logging in when you click the back button for the first time you will come to the log in page again, go back again and the browser would prompt 'resend/repost data?' and accept it, voila you have post the whole thing you had wanted to originally thumbup... i am sure you will find this quite helpful, something which probably some lotters know about already i guess, still i wanted to let you know coz it has really been so frustrating for me when i have typed a really long response and fissk! disappeared into thin air logged out of mylot when clicking the post button!

another alternative if you want to be careful and i guess many use- notepad... but when i accidentally came to find this thing out i didn't need a notepad as well. happy

I have also experienced this situation and I am really upset,you have exerted
your full effort to express yourself to that discussion and then it will just
be gone, anyway, we are system generated, we cannot this problem. After experiencing this problem, if I have a long response,i always prepare my notepad
just to be safe,as what I am doing right now.lolw00t.I am sad for those
members who has less than 500 posts, they can't copy and paste,so they have to
follow your second advise.I just know it by now.Thanks for the wonderful information.This is really helpful. i will keep it mind. have a great day!happy mylotting!happy

hi rberon, well using the notepad we can be geared up for the worst lol.. it is nice thing to do but yeah for lotters who haven't reached 500 posts this reposting thing will actually be quite helpful, i didn't think of that i mean you reminded me it could be a very good option for those lotters!w00t...nice nice. happy...thanks hehe.

Thanks for sharing voldrox. I usually encounter that error and i have also experienced losing my post before being posted because of those error encountered when we click the post button. Good thing that i already had more than 500 posts and i could cut and paste already, so every time i post anything i would be copying it all before clicking post because i would not want to type it all again. I even got frustrated before when it happened to me around 2 consecutive times that i never went back to mylot for weeks because of that. But eventually i found a solution to my answer in time.:)


myLot reputation of 99/100. voldrox (1498)   ranked 7 out of 32,533 in mylot.com  1 month ago

hi nrtan... well weeks is a long time, i hope you don't have something like, if by chance you get logged out then use this idea and you can also keep a notepad for better reliability... i hope this method you will find useful if something happens with the notepad by chance..

incident some time ago, I was writing in notepad, but what happens is suddenly the lights die and I can not save what I typed. Then, I want to provide feedback to others and it turns out after click the respond. Box is empty and my post did not go in it I'm happy because I wrote in a note before sending a respond.


myLot reputation of 99/100. voldrox (1498)   ranked 7 out of 32,533 in mylot.com  1 month ago

hi may2k8, well you mean to say you saved those things in a note isn't it? well if one doesn't have problems with typing then that could be a good option as well.. no way one can delete that!blinklol

I have experienced that too, the next time i made a post i wrote it first in note pad...just be careful in typing your topic, especialy when it's very long ... i often experiece that when i forgot to witre my post first in note pad... +)


myLot reputation of 99/100. voldrox (1498)   ranked 7 out of 32,533 in mylot.com  1 month ago

hi guylian, even i don't remember when i too accidentally happened to notice this thing, i guess a month or so, but i hadn't started an open discussion about it.. and so finally i did it this time, after all if the post disappears like this it would get anyone frustrated, i don't really know why sometimes we are logged out after being idle for sometime... +)

What you saying is really helpful, because this happen to me yesterday, I was right in the middle of finishing up answering a discussion, when I noted mylot computer had turned off, the post was still there but I had to log in, all over again i didn't even bother rewriting the response because, I wouldn't remember what I had said. happythumbup


myLot reputation of 99/100. voldrox (1498)   ranked 7 out of 32,533 in mylot.com  1 month ago

hi notlistening2, thumbup well i am glad you found it yourself, it can really be helpful if we are not using a notepad, i hope more and more lotters come to notice this thing, coz i have suffered with the loss when i have got logged out like that and i know it feels irritating especially when we have put so much thinking into the huge content, i hope they get to know they can do this small thing, i would be glad to come of help. happy

This has happened to me in the past whilst being logged into My Lot! However, this was a problem that related to My Lot itself. This doesn't seem to happen anymore and I'm pleased about that. I suppose it's a good idea to open notepad or word and copy and paste every piece writing you do when on My Lot, this would save a lot of hassle but like I said, this doesn't happen to me anymore. Andrew


myLot reputation of 99/100. voldrox (1498)   ranked 7 out of 32,533 in mylot.com  1 month ago

hi Andrew, it is nice it is good that this doesn't happen to you anymore.. it is really frustrating and it helps using a notepad.. well this thing i mentioned about here, i guess this will be more useful to lotters who can't copy paste and for those who didn't save it in the notepad..

Hi voldrox.I have seen it happening to you so many times.Lol..It happened to me only once I guess.But I have got used to it.When the sign out thing happens it usually takes longer time to post.So when I feel that my post will vanish I just select it and copy it.And if I get signed out I log in again and paste everything.Why do you need notepad??Anyways ave a nice day..

That has never happened when I submit a response, but I have accidentally hit the delete button on my keybord, and I end up deleting everything I wrote, and I have to do it all over again. I have done that more than once, and it is so frustraging when they happens. I don't remember usually what I wrote, so I have to do it again, and then I am sure I leave things out. I don't know how I am hitting the delete button so easily, but I do. I don't like to have to write it all again, but for some reason I hit the delete button, and poof, it is gone. I guess I need to stop being going so fast and using my trigger finger. lol I still like mylot in spite of it, and I am here for as long as I an be. Good luck to you and happy mylotting. happy


myLot reputation of 99/100. voldrox (1498)   ranked 7 out of 32,533 in mylot.com  1 month ago

hi rosekiss



well that must be so frustrating i know, i have not hit the delete button but it still feels the same when our post is gone! poof!shocked... well i hope you are more careful with the delete button lol and it's good to know that the problem of getting logged doesn't happen with you anymore, the poof thing has happened with me once or twice accidentally deleting it all but i still type it, thinking all over again, though i am sure this thing might happen but we can't just ignore mylot for such a thing, we have to keep coming and coming here, it is just such a wonderful place, good luck to you too, happy mylottinghappy and have a nice day rosekiss.

Hi Voldrox...

I have never faced such a problem and i dont want to...its really frustrating...I have never been logged out but i have lost the data which i have typed....it happened to me few times last month when mylot was not working properly...

Take care


myLot reputation of 99/100. voldrox (1498)   ranked 7 out of 32,533 in mylot.com  1 month ago

hi sonuherenz



well it is really frustrating when we get logged out like that and especially when the post was big, we just have no other alternative if we were not prepared for that, well but using a notepad is definitely a great idea or at copying the whole content with keyboard shortcuts and then if it doesn't post then again you could paste and then post, have a nice day sonuherenz. cool


myLot reputation of 91/100. sonuherenz (124)   ranked 8,239 out of 32,533 in mylot.com  1 month ago

Hi Voldrox...yes, but i havent reached 500 mark so i cant copy paste....what i do is before posting i copy paste it to a note pad and if the post does not go then i read and type it...but still its frustrating...
