post failures

[flaming]

I have done 3  messages to post this morning. When I click on !Submi! they disappear. Why is that please?

[FP]

Two questions:

1.  Are they showing in 'my profile'?

2.  Did you contribute to In a Pickle's question on Saturday?

If the answer to both is 'yes' then go to Netibita's question below.   (It's happened to quite a few of us)

Also Flaming, I posted you an answer on how to create a link like ezapf's here.  Do you still want to know?  Unfortunately, it was one of my disappearing messages!!

Tell me about it, FP.  I was posting answers all over the place this early a.m.  At a certain point nothing would post when I clicked 'Submit'.  I later discovered they were shown on My Profile. I have sent a query to Answerbank Technical and maybe now all is well.  I posted one question OK, and I'm hoping this appears to you.  Yes I see others had had troubles like mine.One of my questions earlier when things were working was about why the InaPickle stuff had disappeared and I found that it had been reported. Netibiza's question - I haven't come to that yet.  On my screen it is just FP. 
Re creating a link: yes please, but I am a bit computer-dense so Ihope I get it if you go to th trouble of explaining.  I have to log off soon though.

Flaming:

Easy:  Just highlight the http address in your addess bar at the top of the screen.   Either go to File and Copy or Press Control and C together (short cut to copy)  File and Paste (Control and V together) the address to your posting (hint: hit the space bar to  to activate it - it will then change colour and be underlined) then highlight the link and type the word 'here' or whatever word/s you want?

e.g.

here

Should have said the http address for the link you want to show.

Hey, FP, that's good as I've been wondering how that is done. And better yet, I've just tried it and it works!!!

[FP]

And I only charge a small fee for IT tips!  (Someone taught me this only recently!!)

Dear Users,

As this is a monitored site we sometimes get "backlogged" over the weekend, if you continue to have problems posting, please email me.

AB ED

[FP]

Thanks Ed.

[netibiza]

Message to Ed -- but why could we not post like other people over the weekend?  Surely we would all be backlogged not just a "chosen few".

[FP]

Some of my answers got removed after they were posted and have now appeared again.  Also my Alias was able to post.

[flaming]

But it wasn't the weekend in my case - posting was ok until the early hours of Tuesday a.m. 

FP Thanks for that.  I will play about with it at the weekend.

Oh and, FP - affirmative to Qs 1 & 2
