It might give me a bit of grumpy, because I just finished a discussion with all the great idea at the moment, and I was ready to post it here. When I click on the "Post" button, the page all of sudden showing that mylot page server is not available, or the page temporarily down, or move to a new page, something like that. When I hit the "Refresh" button on the browser, my discussion was gone, and all of effort was wasted for that moment. Gosh, I have a long discussion, and I have to do it all over again. I hate it, and I hate it.

Ouch! I hate that either! You know what I do? I copy the content first whatever I type before I submit to prevent that happened! Copying the content became my haibit in oder not to lose it, I have done that before and it made me so mad after I typed a long discussions with all the nice points in it... and I had to start over again.

i'm using mozilla firefox , but i think that's the problem with ur internet connection so try to check out from that corner as these server error messages are mostly because of the internet connection problems.

Happens to me too and it is really frustrating when you have put a lot of thought (and typing) into your response. Hope this one survives...

I know it's very frustrating, Kingparker. Has happened with me too. I had just typed a 25 liner-response and then when i hit the post button, it just disappeared somewhere. I think there could be a network problem with your internet connection provider. The best thing you could do is, copy all the contents of the response to your clipboard before posting it because you can't be sure if it would not be happening the next time. Just copy the whole thing to your clipboard, and for extra precaution you can also paste the thing into a notepad. You should not have a problem then. All the best.

I experienced it every time I respond or comment on a discussion, getting a bad respond or error server or else after a long time downloading of the discussion. Now, I would copy my discussion or respond or comment before hitting the refresh button.

yeah, that really sucks. If it happens to you all the time, you should copy your discussion before you post it. Then, you have nothing to fear. To avoid unexpected error, you should always copy your long discussions before you post them.

Yeah, that has happened to me too a number of times. Very frustrating, indeed. I some times do "copy and paste", if I could catch it in time. Some times , I miss that too , and loose every thing. I am not sure if this is my server problem or some thing else !

The same thing often happened to me in the past, but now I copy my discussion, response or comment every time before I try to submit it. It takes a few more seconds, but at least I don't lose the things I have written if there is a problem with the my internet connection or a problem with the site. You are able to copy and paste so you could do the same thing if you want to avoid the problem in the future. It is really frustrating to write a long discussion or response and lose all of it.

I agree. Today I started answers again 2 times, I hope this time my answer go to you and all will be ok. This situation is familiar to me and don't like me too... I do not know why it happens, I think it is maylot.com fault, because when there are lot of people portal littlebit hangs and do this things... Ye and then we hate this situations!
