For the past week I have not been able to post my articles. What happens is that when I paste the text into the box, but only a paragraph gets copied. I have four articles I could not post. I wrote to them but no answer. Have I been banned? What do I make of this, and has anyone experienced this with Experts column? Please write to me if you have had this problem.

It was all sorted out. It was a technical problem on EC. I love writing for them. I also like myLot...and like answering good questions which this is.. talking about God is remembrance of God always and there are blessings for the speaker and the listener.

riempie9,
Good eveing,
I am not sure what the answer to this would be. What expert column is this? Is it here on mylot? I would think that if they banned you that you would get a notification. Maybe there is an answer to this in the policy area for this. Maybe you could try to find out what grounds are for geting banned and what how do you get notice if this.

I think there is a technical problem with ExpertsColumn and probably they are sorting it out. Too many writers are complaining that they have difficulty right now with the site. Keep calm... let us see what happens; they know there is something wrong.

I agree there is probably a technical problem because in my experience Experts Column is outstanding in its response to problems from writers. They have recently upgraded the site and I have been unable to check on my earnings, so I think we must be patient. Have you checked their blog lately? If there are problems that is the place where they give us the details.

hi.
this post about expert columns reminded me that i have an account there which i am not actively participating. being a working mom always has its pros and cons. i wish that there are more than 24 hours a day but i am suddenly reminded 'to be careful of what i wish for'.
websites will always have these glitches. i think they would not ban anyone without explaining or notifying. but i am glad that all is well now with you writing at experts column.

I don't think you are banned by this site, if you are banned by them, you will get an email message from the admin, as well as you don't have the ability to login to your account. May be it is due to some glitch, hope you have the ability to post your columns now

Th problem doesn't sound like you have been banned. I am a new user of EC so I have not had that happen. It sounds more like a glitch in either their program or your computer. I would clear out my cache, cookies, temp internet files and try again.
I think if you were banned you would not be able to access the site at log in.
I had emailed them with another issue when I first started and it took about 4 days to get a response.

I have problems with EC because it won't paste. I have a different problem also in that when I use the Firefox browser it won't open iWriter.. the same with Internet Explore. Does anyone have an answer? I don't understand cookies and clean-up. This new computer is one week old so there is no old stuff to clean up. Is anyone else having browser problems? It says the page is unable to redirect. Please advise fellers. Thanks.

Though I am not writing on Expertscolumn, I think that generally if you have been banned, you will be informed. Secondly you will not be allowed to log in as a member. But since you have both the things in your favour, I would suggest that there is some problem with your computer system.
I would like to suggest you to try to post your articles using somebodyelse's computer. If they do not give you reply, you can send one more reminder too. It may happen with people that they are not able to work on some sites due to some problems with their computer/ browser systems.
I have similar problem with freelance.com I am not active there. But few days back, when I tried to log on, I could do it but I could not read any of the pages of the site except the Titles of the Home page. I tried with a friends computer and with different browser and the things were working perfectly....!
So do try this method, you may be able to find a solution.

I don't know the answer either.
I am also a member of EC, but I never had any problem posting articles.
The other day August 2, 2012 I just posted two articles and it was successfully posted.
Since you've wrote/send a message to the Admin and no answer till now, I suggest that you send another letter again.

I am a member of Expertscolumn and I have not had any such problem that you have faced. However, I might suggest to you to clean up all the cookies from your pc and log in to the site.
