OK - JUST FOUND THE ONE THING THAT TOPS MY LIST OF - "Re: What p....'s you off the most"
The answer is -
Spending 20 min's typing a response to 'Re: What p....'s you off the most' and then accidentally hitting the wrong button and loosing it all...............................!!!!!!

I have done that so many times. Now I always type it in a word processor save it and then copy it into the post. Sometimes I have has it disappear into la la land just after I pressed submit. At least this way you can always go back and copy & paste it again. 🙂

Yeah!!! That happens a lot - I know I am IT and computer challanged - but is there a simple answer for some one like me on this????

Sorry FNQ that was the simple answer.

Here is what I do. I open the forum in a window and read through the posts. When I find one that I want to reply to I open a s3econd window with my word processor. I use Microsoft Word but there are many to choose from. Once I have completed it I read it through again to see if it makes sense (art least to me) then I run the spell check. After that I save it. Once saved I highlight and select copy. Then I switch back to the forum and select reply. Here I paste what I copied. Then preview it quickly and press submit.

Using a WP only takes a few extra seconds and it allows you to spell check and save your work. This way it fir post disappears which I find does happen I just go back, paste it and hit submit again. I find that if I stay on the preview screen too long it does not want to post.
Hope that helps, let me know.

Ahhhh!!!- SPAM - 🙁 - The great nemesis of forums every where!!!! sigh!!!! 🙁

Oh great-one, 🙂 if you knew the answer to the spam problem - you would be immortalised till the end of time 🙂 .
(I did however, think that could of been the reason behind the issue).

Spam comes in many forms - and not just as non-descript meat types in a can or as a possibly use for 'road-kill', (that's taken care of my wisdom or philosophical quote for the days post at least). 😎

What p****s me of most is that our entire global society at all levels has become one of deception. Misinformation abounds and it is virtually impossible to get a straight answer out of anyone. Backstabbing and deceit are glorified as the way to advancement. Our governments at all levels, corporations, right on down to individuals, seem incapable of just simply telling the truth about anything. No one is direct, no one is honest........... they are evasive, rudeness has become the norm, and they feel free to say whatever they need to if it shifts blame or suits their hidden agendas. Integrity be damned.

Our TV channels are filled with 'reality' shows that promote deceit and manipulation.

Personally I find that as the years have gone by I want less and less to do with people. The number of genuine, straightforward individuals, who are honest to a fault, are so few and far between that I think I can count the number I have met in the last decade on one hand. No, I prefer the solitude of our ranch and spending quality time with my wife. The wildlife, our livestock and the dogs are companions you can take at face value.

You said that for me, but remove wife and add husband.

What pisses me off is....
Its seems like whenever I hop in the car to do errands and think OH, I will just pull over at the mailbox to mail all this.. it never fails the mailbox is ALWAYS on the other side of the road.
😆
Naw doesn't piss, piss me off just annoying.
H mm piss me off... thinking... roomies who don't clean up after themself.
People that have the opportunity to educate themself on survivalism choosing to go into denial then critique those of us who put the work, time and money in. That pisses me off.
