THE FORUM DOES NOT EXIST.

[Daikarin]

I spent a FULL HOUR writing a rant about a childhood problem which I wanted to share with you guys, but when I pressed the "Submit" button, I got the "The forum does not exist" crap.

And my whole text went down the toilet.

What should I do? Copy it to a text file before submitting?

This isn't how a guy should post around here, damnit.

Damn, that sucks Jin.
Yeah, I suppose if it's going to be a long and meaningful post...Which you really don't wanna type again, do it in a text file first.

And maybe copy frequently. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif

And then check my grammar. And also restruct the paragraphs. And, select a suitable ponctuation.

And sell it to some newpaper, since it went through so much trouble.

Bah. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_disapprove.gif

I've had a ton of long, well thought out and structured posts go bye-bye due to the website having gone down and all that, used to happen a lot, now it's quite rare.

I still just copy whatever I'm about to submit, just incase it doesn't go through properly. Better safe than sorry, right?

[Tycho]

No, maybe the thing is just right, maybe the forums don't exist at all!

...

Few hours ago when I did a long post it said I wasn't logged in, even though I was. So, back. Ctrl C just in case. Submit. Done.

Use notepad. Then copy and paste. Should do it.

[Armok]

I hate that. I tend to rewrite my message quickly and generally it makes no sense when I do.

There's some button combination I still haven't figured out that works the same as hitting the 'BACK' button. Some times when I type, I hear a 'click' and the browser goes back a page. I hit the 'FORWARD' button and find that all my text is gone... -_-


Thus continual copying or writing in wordpad will work...

If that happens, I usually growl, hit the desk, and surrender to the darkness.

*cries*

Write it again sometime.

Ya. It sucks. I have lost many of those posts to LJ's hellhole of darkness. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_eek.gif

Alt + Arrow left or right

Aaaaaanyways http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime2.gif
I have only ran into this problem a couple of times. Most of the time when I have written out a LONNNNG post, the page refreshes. ;_;

Thats my excuse for never having long posts! http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif

Also, sometimes if you press backspace, you'll also go back.

Also, sometimes when I go back, all the words are gone. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_disapprove.gif

I dunno bout accidently hitting ALT & the arrow key when I type... but Backspace seems the most logical answer.

It seems that sometimes something happens to deselect your browser as you type and when you hit Backspace... you're fucked.
