[HPFGU-OTChatter] Re: Yahoo sign-in

[Sharon Hawkinson]

Been there...done that. Not a fun thing.

I spent many a time cursing when that happened...and it's always long posts it happens to me on.

What i do if I think it might do that to me is hightlight what I wrote and right click, and then highlight copy. It it asks me to sign in, I do, then I go back to the message and the posting window and paste in what I wrote. 

That's one thing that really, really bugs me.

  Just out of curiousity Mike are you using email 
  or the Web interface?

  I've lost so many posts due to problems with Yahoo, 
  that I don't close the Tab (window) until after my 
  post has shown up. I keep hitting Reload until my 
  post appears in the thread list. 

  If you use the Web interface it may not have occurred 
  to you, but you can page Back a page or two and your 
  post will still be there. If it seems that Yahoo has 
  lost my post, I just page back, and hit send again.

  If you are using email, then a copy should be in the 
  SENT folder of your email program.

  It sounds like you are using the Web interface, that 
  is, going on-line and reading and posting on the
  HPforGrownups/HPFGU-OTChatter webpage. I use 
  Mozilla/Seamonkey Suite and sometimes Firefox which 
  allow new tabs to be opened; meaning I can open a 
  webpage in a single occurance of my browser, but have 
  tab across the top, one for each webpage I have open. 

  Typically, I have the main list in the first Tab, then 
  right click and open three new posts, each in their own 
  Tab, then I read and if necessary, reply to them. While 
  I am waiting I go back to the main Tab, and open more 
  posts. Periodically, I go back to the Tab in which I 
  have posted a reply, reload, if my reply appears in the 
  thread list, I close the Tab. If it doesn't, I page back 
  to my post edit window and send it again.

  If you use Internet Explorer, you can do the same thing, 
  but you have to open each post in a separate window. The 
  important thing is to NOT close the window or tab until 
  your post has appeared.

  I suspect, in your case, if you had hit the Back button, 
  you would have eventually come to your post, and could 
  have resent it.

  Just passing it along.
