i wonder how many people give up posting on this site because there is a 'problem' and the post is lost? Better stop now before it happens again!

    Hello John, I'm not to sure what you mean. What is the lost problem?

    Hi. The post disappears when it is reloaded. So you try again and it often does it again. Frustrating!

      Aaah, yeah, I've had that a couple of times, very annoying! If I ever write something more than a few lines, I always select and copy it before I try to post it, just out of habbit. Nothing more deflating than losing something you put your heart into.

      Oh I hope not, I had this a while ago and complained to the moderator and it stopped happening.  I would be lost without my fam on here, it is the ONLY time I have gone so long having 7 units a week without any help.  Flippin proud I am of me and Patient.

    If there are video adds running while using this page on the RT side bar under the notifications button, then you need to go into the iPad or computer settings and disable or do not allow video adds.

    Video adds use up a lot of time, disrupt use, uses more time, therefore the page is constantly timing out and reloading loosing any message in the reply box. Having the video adds on also uses up more battery power.

      Another wasted morning trying to reply to you they all go blank after I have nearly finished also tried that formula hope4cure suggested. Could not work that one out either.I'm becoming a nervous wreck with all this.

      For I pad , Go to settings, then to safari,  then to block pop ups and press don't allow tracking. It fixed mine. Also one other thing if you have not powered off your I Pad in a while then to many things could be running in the background. Try powering off to shut down anything that could be running, close all windows, then restart I Pad. Both fixed my issues. No longer have the issue with loosing replies and the page timing out to reload. Also be sure all the programs have been updated.

    I think you are correct. People will leave if they are not long term members.

    I only stay because I am invested in some of the people here.

    There are days i don't log on...or continue staying on because of this..but it hasn't happened to me in a long time.

    A member here told me to  use a different browser and i haven't had any problems....I use Google chrome now...I used to use the big "E" for the internet.
