I have made a silly mistake

Yesterday afternoon I had made a silly mistake or rather a technical fault, when posting a new discussion (Sharing a photo with friends here). I forgot to click on the preview photo button before sending my post, so I couldn’t find my uploaded photo in the new discussion. No wonder I couldn’t receive any responses for the discussion after hours. I was so depressed that I had made such careless mistake. I think most probably I did it in a hurry as my posting time is very limited as I had mentioned earlier in the discussion, “sharing a photo with friends here”. Later I found out the missing photo – “waiting at the resort lobby”, had gone to our friend, player143’s discussion which I had responded somewhere around the time. Do you face any problem when posting? Have you ever made such mistake before? If you are interested to see me in the photo, please refer to the link below: http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/1355331.aspx?p=2

Well, it couldn’t be blamed. As normally the host of the photo would sit right at the very front haha ...

Hi marketing07, I am so happy to have you drop by here. I am really amused to see your answer regarding your guessing. Oh no! My dear friend, the guy in blue is another person. Not me. It is quite natural for you to guess wrongly as she appears so conspicuously in the right front of the photo. I am the one beside her, in red.

It's just a very ordinary mistake, especially when we are facing Mylot script error. Last night I experienced something similar. I need to make up to 6 or 7 attempts, just to submit a single response to my friend's discussion. Imagine how troublesome, and also wasting the time, by repeating the same action. If it were not this problem, I might had completed 10 more responses last night LoL. I believe it's the heavy traffic causing this, because the Mylot response very slow during that time frame. I almost gave up and was saving my discussion contents in a text editor with its corresponding URL. But finally 3 am in the morning, the response was submitted successfully. I think we need to study the buzy hour of Mylot activity as well in order to avoid the 'traffic jam'. (Just my guess) Other time of the day it's ok for me to make response and submit them without any issue. Ya, I had made such mistake before. But it was quite some time ago (about a year ago) during when I uploaded quite a number of photos. Ever since I became inactive for a long period of time, I had stopped uploading photos, partially due to laziness. LoL. This kind of photo loading happen when we are using multiple browser windows to create/submit/upload contents to the disucssion, in wrong sequence. If you are uploading a photo, you need to make sure that you complete the discussion that you are working on before continue with other discussion.

That's right. It's impossible for us to avoid from making some minor mistakes sometimes. Hopefully Mylot will upgrade their system to cater for heavier network traffic to their site daily, so that phenomena of slow loading could be reduced. By the way, thanks for giving me the best response in this discussion. Happy Mylotting!

Hi dear cheongyc, what you said is right, no one could avoid from making some minor mistakes occasionally. Today I encounter the problem of posting againis really frustrating and irritating. This could be one of the reasons why people quit mylot. One of referrers encountered this problem two weeks ago and she was so frustrated that she refused to post anymore till now. You are most welcome, my dear.

Hi dear cheongyc, in the present mylot posting system, once we are not careful enough we might make technical errors easily at anytime. It is quite normal to make 6 or 7 attempts in order just to submit a single response. My case is even worse that all the while I have to try 15 to 40 minutes for a successful posting. This inconvenient has made my mylotting tedious and annoyed. I have tried not to post during peak hours but the situation always remains the same. The main reason for my mentioned mistake is due to the shortage of effective time allowed for posting which normally lasts for only 10 minutes or so. I have to do it in a hurry within such short interval if I happen to come across such favorable moment. I hope mylot could look into this matter and has my problem solved as their earlier convenience. By the way I feel really glad to see you to be active again here. Thanks for sharing your valuable experience as guidance for my future problem solving.

Sometimes it happens to me that even if I have uploaded the picture to the right discussion, it goes to another discussion that was open at the same time. It happens to quite a few people here....I know because I've seen discussions on the same topic. Maybe that's what happened to you too.

Hi SViswan, I believe that this is most probably due to the multi-page or tab we open at the same time. Yeah, I do find some users here who encounter the same problem as mine that they couldn’t find their uploaded photos in their discussions. Thanks for your kind concern and have a nice day.

Hi bimmer, you are right, wrong spelling is the most mistakes we make here especially we do our typing in a hurry. Anyhow we still could catch the meaning in the sentences, even though there are some spelling mistakes. But for a discussion with missing photo could definitely hardly to be answered. Luckily that mine still has some questions included in it.

Hi dear gandatwo, I am very glad to have you as my first responder in this discussion. Earlier I did feel really depressed as I had made such an undesirable mistake but now I feel rather relieved after reading your kind words. Thank you very much my friend.

Yeah, in your case, it is quite natural that we might post the same discussion twice as we sometimes think that the first posting is not successful.

I had so many huge mistake on posting my discussion before. There are times i posted wrong spelling or i mispelled it according to our language which makes the responser find it vague. There are times also like you you attached the photos and there is no photos attached which makes them response "i don't get your discussion". When i received such remarks on my mistake i get offended because this is unintentional.From now i take time to review my post to avoid me being hurt and to avoid my reader to be confious. We are only human we are expected to make mistake but this thing can be avoided in the first place.

Hi grecychunny26, it is often liable to make spelling and grammatical mistakes easily in English language especially when English is not our native language. It is lucky that the discussion is still answerable as it includes two questions in it. In this regard I would like to thank my good friends for their understanding and replies. Yeah, I understand your feeling we do get hurt if we make any of these undesirable mistakes unintentionally. Thank you for reminding me to review and check before posting to avoid such mistakes.

I did some silly mistakes too. I was trying to ask about the importance of virginity in their opinion then I accidently said: "What is the importance of in your area and what is it to you personally?" Hhehe just missed to type the main topic word and that's just a very silly mistake

Hi the _ruler, it is quite normal. Very often, we might type out something which we do not intend to say out, instead we might type out whatever we think at that very moment. This might be due to less concentration paid on the original idea, or distraction by some other disturbance during that instant when we do the typing.
