My posts are playing magic tricks.

My posts keep disappearing after I sumbit them and refresh/change page/etc. What I am doing wrong?

[Severian]

I have been having this too. I was wondering if I was being censored by a very very fast mod.

[GutZ]

Ha! so was I, if that's true they are extremely relentless. Apparently now one of them showed up. Very odd and frustrating, I fear making any post over 50-100 words. After 2 or 3 times making the same post, all enthusiasm is gone.

You should copy the text before you submit, and if it doesn't show up all you have to do is paste and hit submit again.

[Severian]

Yes - that is what I have been doing. Although it is really enough just to copy to the buffer, and wait to see if it shows up a minute later.

Which forums does this occur in?

[GutZ]

I've had it happen in the Announcements, the GD, Sciences, all basically, at random times.

 

I do copy my post once I have the problem, but after a while it works fine again, which of course after a few weeks I forget and just post regularly. Maybe it's something like pressing the edit button (which I painifully do alot ) too fast after I submit.

It's to be expected in Announcements - your posts must be approved before appearing. New threads in News are still moderated as well (I think).

 

Does this occur with Quick Reply or the standard Reply button? If it's Quick Reply, try hitting Ctrl-F5 while on any thread in the forum, so your browser reloads the Javascript used for Quick Reply. It may be the vB update confusing your cache.

I will try, T"he announcements" pop up that message so I knew those times in there were because of the approval system, but other places not so, I will try that, because I do use the quick reply.

My post disappeared recently, bad times

[Cap'n Refsmmat]

umm... you have 28 of them, you'll have to be more specific if you want us to help you out.

[hotcommodity]

It was in "stress relief" in general discussion, didn't know you could help, I just wanted to bitch

[Cap'n Refsmmat]

That was removed intentionally.

[hotcommodity]

Haha, that's ridiculous. I guess mods have to flex their muscles once in awhile tho'.
