Pet Talk posting mysteries ...
Hi all,
I love the new look of Pet Talk and the nifty new features we have to play with, even if I can't say that I've mastered them yet ... :eek: :rolleyes: :o Still, every so often I run into little glitches and was wondering whether they were all 'nut behind the wheel' issues, software, internet related or what.
How prevalent are they? I thought they were quite rare, but comparing notes with some of you in PMs, some of us are having these types of problems:
- once or twice I've posted messages that vanish :confused:
- sometimes (once a week or so) PT forgets who I am when I change threads
- sometimes my post doesn't get entered for some time after I've sent it (rarely -- once a month or so)
- sometimes I get repeated notice about the same PM - hangs up my computer (pretty much every time I get a message and don't answer it/delete it immediately)
- has anyone else noticed other issues???
This sounds like I'm carping, and I'm sorry about that because I think this place is great, but quirks can't get fixed if no one mentions them...
I really do like it here, but don't know why there are (really rare) system hiccups sometimes.
Re: Sorry, wasn't clear ...

Bewildered here...
Yeah, I've had this happen on several occasions. The very first time it happened was when I posted to the thread about what job would you have in Pet Talk Ville. I remember writing something out and when I went back the next day to read the other posts, mine was gone! I just thought I was losing my mind! LOL LOL No!! I'm too young!!! :D Anywho, it happened just recently on another thread as well. LOL LOL
I've also had delayed posts and that usually doesn't bother me unless it makes a post look out of context like it did recently on a sensitive thread. I asked about this in a PM and it was mentioned that maybe my time zone was set incorrectly. So I went to my profile and surely enough, my time zone was set to Netherlands or something like that, so I changed it to Pacific time. Another thing that was mentioned to me is the caching of pages by my computer here at work. It could be that I am in fact reading a post that is older than I thought at the time I read it and responded.
PT is great and these little quirks are just that...little quirks, when it comes to computers...little quirks are bound to happen!LOL LOL:rolleyes: But, I definitely didn't want to appear insensitive to the sweet people in the post I had responded to because that one particular post delay looked bad:(
Cheers and hugs to our wonderful moderators that make Pet Talk possible!!! I love it here!:)
