Is it an annoyance when you respond to a post in a rather lengthly and thoughtful manner only to hit submit and see the thread has been locked? Generally when you consider it to be a good post as well....

That and when I am in quick reply mode, and the page refreshes itself because of an advertisement script.

Funny thing is that I kind of seriously have too, because my hopes are usually lost every time I take time to search or upload a picture.

It's almost as annoying as typing a long post, only to find there's one of those HTML errors.

I was typing this one message that was very long and I had to completely redo the quotes because they were glitching the HTML. As for locked topics, it is indeed annoying.

Very much so, which is why I keep my longer posts saved in a .txt file so I can unleash them when the subject arrives again.

It really isn't an annoyance to me. If I can type it once then I can type it again.

Of course, it's happened several times. I just tend to go back to my lurking if that's the case since there probably isnt any other particular thread worth posting in.

Yeah. That is one of the great dangers of having multiple tabs open at one time. One false click and everything is gone...

Haha me too. I just don't feel like putting in the time to post pictures anymore. Plus it doesn't even work half the time, and I don't have the patience to mess around with it and get it to work.

Yes, that actually happened to me the other day. The post wasn't that long, but I thought it was good. As for the HTML errors, that only happens to me when I try to quote someone who has pictures in their post. Then I have to go through and remove the pictures, and I usually mess up the tags in the process.

I get that quite often. I've got into the habit of pressing ctrl-a and then ctrl-c before clicking 'submit'.

LJS9502_basic

Yes it is, but what do you do? Go to sleep and wake up to your job? Then start the BS all over again? I hate life. Actually I am in a position to change the very foundation of this. We will see if I am successful, but if I am, it will be completely "behind-the-scenes"
