Do we have to

Copy before going back, then paste when you return.

Back after an unavoidable break. I do not usually use preview and press post with some care, which of course doesnt exclude the occasional senior moment. But as Phoenix says that she has also had a problem.....

The thing that drives me to drink is partially writing a submission, going back a page or two to check a message on the thread and then finding that leaving the page with the submission deletes it. However, once I realised the problem I have done my best to avoid it.

Maybe HQ had filtered an posting about knicker wetting- it could be upsetting for some people!

I have had this problem too. It took me 4 attempts for my knicker wetting incident to actually appear as a post, and I don't think even I would make the mistake of hitting preview 3 times! (especially as I usually forget to preview at all, hence the typos)

I've done that too, several times.

absentgrana been there, done that, thought I was the only one!

FlicketyB Don't bite my head off but sometimes I have thought I had posted something but all I had done was preview. It's very easy to overlook the "post message"button.

"That's ever so considerate of you to think of little old us!"

[sarky emoticon definitely required]

What did you put FlicketyB?!

I don't believe they've got any filters! they would have used 'em on mine

Aaaah, we're back to the "quiet word" FlicketyB !

Three or four messages I have posted have not appeared on Gransnet. I do not think there has been anything in them to cause offence but I assume that Gransnet has a filter that throws out messages that contain words that it thinks might be offensive.

If/when this happens could the Gransnet admin people let the Gransnetter know it has happened and why because non-arriving posts may also be the sign of computer problems the senders end and knowing that would help the sender. If for some reason the message is inadvertantly offensive it would also help to know where one has overstepped a limit in order to avoid it in future.

Yes I've seen that you have been hot on the trail of various Jonathans.

That's why I thought of starting the Dawn Patrol game. If you report it and then post "reported" no-one else has to bother.

Ditto. Yes – lots of people reporting the same thing would be a bit tiresome.

I got an e-mail from HQ to confirm that they had received my report.

I've never noted on the thread that I've reported a dodgy post. Maybe it's a good idea though....would stop GNHQ getting multiple reports for same dodgy post?
