O.K.. Just for S and G’s I decided to explain my plight with this post that seems to have consumed you. Here’s what happened there Jr. I logged on to SCCOA via my ultra-high-speed firefox browser. No issues logging in. I proceeded then to the “Technical Forum” because,, well, I have a “Technical” issue. I hit the “New Thread” button and it loaded just fine. I typed the subject and proceeded to the main body of the thread to skillfully type in my issue in hopes of some “Technical” relief. After doing so I proceeded to hit the button “Submit” and hopped up from my semi-plush home office chair to get a bite to eat. Upon returning to my computer I noticed that the same page was up with my post hanging in limbo. The post had not been submitted. Kinda hanging there like it was hung up. So, while this was going on I, with all my computer skill, decided to copy the body of the post out to be pasted back in on try #2. This was accomplished without incident. I closed my browser, counted to 10 and re-opened it. I went straight to the “Technical forum” and made sure it hadn’t posted when I wasn’t looking. To my complete and utter surprise, NO POST!. At this time I decided to try again and hit the button “Submit new Post” or whatever the button is to do that. Same page pops up and I type in the subject line, well, my subject. Pasted the contents in and hit submit again….Got up from my PC and proceeded to hit the Jon for a long overdue reading of the local newspaper.
10 minutes later and a few really nifty articles later I proceeded back to my computer to see how many highly knowledge SC owners had answered my thread. I saw the same screen looking at me and was really getting aggravated. This time I just shut down the computer before I lobbed it across the room. Waited about 10 minutes and turned her back on. Everything loaded as usual and after hitting “No” to my anti-virus software wanting me to upgrade to the ultra-cool full edition I proceeded to log back in to the site, if your slow that would be SCCOA. Site loaded right up no problems. Went back to the posts in “Technical forum” and to my unbelieving eyes not one of my previous attempts were showing. I hit the button “New Post” er whatever that button is and started the process all over again with the ability to paste the stuff in. Re-do and BAM!! Hit the button, without hesitation the post went! I was beside myself and did the “Happy Dance” at my computer much to the dismay of my wife and stepdaughter.
Went back to the “Technical Forum” and there were 3 posts. What can I say… I was a bit embarrassed seeing as how I and a computer savvy kind of an individual and maintain over 30 computers which entails software and hardware. Oh well. Me writing this is not to pacify you but to splain my plight more to myself so when I see my mistake I can read this to refresh my memory seeing as how I am getting older and my memory has issues from time to time. TAH_DAH!!!!!
