Where’s My Discussion

I just finished writing a discussion and when I pressed Start Discussion the little circle went around and around until it stopped. I looked then for the discussion and it wasn’t there,. It’s happened to me a few times before but it’s so aggravating and disappointing.

That’s true. I usually do but I don’t always remember.

@LadyDuck I forgot to copy. I should have thought about it. No big loss though.

I never write anything of any real importance but I do copy if I think about it.

@RubyHawk Yes, if I lost them I wouldn't remember what I wrote since I forget from one minute to the next

@gr8nana6 Usually after I write an article once I have no interest in doing it again.

That is so annoying when that happens. And sometimes if you try again, you end up with two discussions the same.

@RubyHawk And before you know it, you have responses on both and don't know which one to delete.

@JudyEv That’s exactly it. I believe I left both of mine on.

It does happen when the connection or site is slow. I have experienced it. Now I have learnt to save it or copy it before hitting the start discussion button. It saves me from frustration of re writing it .

That’s true. If it occurs to me I make a copy but sometimes I Don’t think about it. I will likely remember next time.

@arunima25 It is when you’ve spent time thinking about an interesting discussion. Although I don’t often write anything of consequence.

I know exactly what you mean, after you get it all down you don;t want to go over it again.

I never write a discussion directly in myLot, I always type them first in the Notepad, I save the text and then I copy and paste here before submitting.

@RubyHawk I have the habit to save on my computer first everything I want to publish online.

I always did that when I was writing longer article on other sites and here I usually copy just in case.

There have been a lot of times where I've seemingly lost a discussion, or got back an error message after the circle sat there spinning around for what seemed like ages, only to go to my profile and see that my discussion actually posted even it seemed it didn't. It's been very rare times that I actually lost my discussion. Thankfully, it doesn't happen often.

I have issues like this, too and others have had other problems with this site recently. I have to refresh many times when I want to add my 2 cents. You are right. Its a pain in the behind.
