Why is it that...

Post Reply New Topic

Why is it that whenever I'm posting something that I put a lot of effort into writing there is a problem with the site being slow or a MySQL error?

Or in a restaurant right when I'm about to get into an interesting discussion the waiter comes and interrupts me asking if I want dessert and then someone changes the subject so I don’t get a chance to say what I wanted to say.

I swear this happens to me more than anyone else. Why? It feels like it always happens for some reason just to spite me.

I'm not even going to bother to rewriting what I had originally written when the site screwed up.

When the site screws up, hit the back button and try again later!
I seem to be the only one who has solved that riddle.
But my problem is, nobody ever listens to me, despite how much as I listen to everybody else!

Nope. I did hit back and eventually got a "page connot be displayed" error. Hit refresh and got the MySQL error. Hit refresh again and the form came up but everything I wrote was deleted. I suppose I should just write everything in word and copy it over.

Holy crap, I just noticed your AV was a slug!
It looked like a bird to me, but I wasn't looking at it directly.
Anyway, I doubt this problem is gonna last long anyway. I seem to get the error message every 4th thing I click, but it will probably be gone tomorrow.

These errors are irritating.

Yeah, I think we got that Tim.

Just now I had to go back & forth 3 times & then hit refresh, only then did I get to save my post, before that all I had was a WP header image & otherwise a blank white page. That must be one heck of a glitch in the system.

A piece of advice that comes from a Wikipedia editor through several years: Longer texts, posts, articles etc. to be submitted online, are first written in the Notepad program on your own machine. Then copy & paste it to the "edit field" on the site and submit it. If it fails, try again later (look up a fun 2-min. video on Youtube in the meantime) to see if it actually got submitted or not, and if not, copy/paste and submit it again. This avoids both loosing your text, and "embarassing" double posts...
