Simple! Compose message in MS Word or similar, copy/paste to GN message box. If it disappears, you still have the original to try again; avoids having to start from scratch!
Bet if you posted something rude which you wish you hadn't that would go on straight away GillT A bit like the stinging riposte you always think of when the person has walked away.
Maybe, toadinthehole, we do have occasional broadband connection issues, but a few times I have composed an erudite reply to a running thread and then it just does not appear. I shall take more notice of what and when I post and make a note
Sometimes the post doesn’t seem to go straight away. It goes that lighter colour, and then gets ‘stuck’. However, when I’ve come back to it , it’s there. Could it be your internet connection ebbing in and out?
I dont think its a great website.A lot could be improved but I've just accepted I will never be able to find the thread I want as I don't know what it was called or where it went.
Over the past week or so, I have posted on threads and then when I come back to GN later on, my contribution isn't there. The first time it happened, I thought perhaps I had been interrupted and had left the laptop before pressing the 'post' button, but it has now happened several times. Anyone else? Or just me?
