1. Yes, ..hi akbacchus!

If I'm getting information on another thread and open a message box like this one when I already have one open..I get the big WARNING! It happened to me earlier today:)

:hi:

[akbacchus_BC]

9. Cha, that was surprising as I only had DU going! Guess my post

was too controversial

[Bill219]

2. I got one of those this afternoon

[akbacchus_BC]

10. But why, is this place stiffling us? I don't understand!

[Kansas Wyatt]

3. Yes

When I've had other windows open. I just close out and return. Kind of sucks if your wrote a lot though.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

4. Yeah. Every once in awhile. Only to discover that the post was sucsessful anyway.

Just go "back" and then refresh.

[akbacchus_BC]

12. Ok, I'll try your suggestion, thanks

[Journeyman]

5. Yeah, I've gotten that before. . .

I think it has more to do with Item #1. At least, that's been my experience.

If you managed to keep the post, copy it from the post window, close that window, open the original thread again, and reply to the thread with the text you copied out of the original reply.

No idea why it does this, only happened a couple times in all my years here, so you probably won't see it much again.

6. Yes, Ma'am, On Several Occasions Over the Years

Have no idea what it means, however....

You can go back on your browser from it, copy your post, and paste it in for another try after going back and clicking the reply or post buttons, however, and generally it will then go through. Never got it twice in a row.

13. Thank you Sir, you are always a modicum of decorum on here!

[NYC_SKP]

7. Yeah. Usually when I have more than one window open. Just restart your browser.

I've never had to reset my cookies.

But just in case, here:

14. Wow, those are

some cute cookies~

[NYC_SKP]

17. Yeah, and the've been reset.

all nice and in rows!

[akbacchus_BC]

18. Those are some lovely cookies. Thanks anyways, I only had yahoo going and

was not even chatting on there.

8. Page back to the OP page

and hit "refresh. Usually, your post will be there. If it's not, there's a glitch. Go forward, copy the bottom of your post, then go back to the OP page, hit "reply," retype the header, paste the body and hit "enter."

11. Only after I've carefully crafted a long and thoughtful reply.

[akbacchus_BC]

15. I did craft a good reply and I got that message. Aw well. What can

I do? Thanks for your response

[akbacchus_BC]
