Charles:
Thanks. Interesting "speculation". Last night, I had a fairly long "Quick Reply" post disappear when the "Submit" button was pushed. That was happening every time when I was using Safari, but has only happened that one time since (at Shad's recommendation) I started using Firefox. Better, but still a problem.
I also was thinking the problem could be the post length, but I posted a really long "Quick Reply" (via Firefox) late this afternoon and it worked. I also took quite a while to write and edit it, so don't really think it is time related.
You might be on to something with the idea that it fails when there is another post made in between. Not absolutely certain, but I think there was a new reply posted during the time I was writing the one that disappeared. I'm certain there was no new reply ahead of todays successful "Quick Reply".
We're supposed to be reporting problems like this on the "Feedback" page, but there are over 50 reports since the system was started, with only 1 "Resolved" with a second one not needing any action. I think I'll let the waters calm a little and get some better details of behavior before declaring on this one. I am making a point of copying the new text and pasting it in Word before pushing "Submit". That way I can always retrieve what I wrote without recreating it.
Happy RRing,
Jerry
