Is anyone else....

Usually if it happens to me its because everything hasn't finished loading yet. For me the font that works for me is verdana but thats the one that shows up when I post. If everything hasnt finished loading I see ariel so if i press submit nothing of what I wrote shows up. So now I know to wait for the verdana in order for it to post.

Hope that makes sense.

Same here. I think you might just have to wait for the page to completely load.

That is what I thought at first too,though It happens even if the page seems fully loaded.

I'll try waiting a little longer to type even if it says it's done loading and see if that helps.

try clicking within the message field to ensure the font reads "Verdana"

if it reads "Arial" the message field is not selected and what you typed won't post.

Mine has been doing that. The problem is after you post, right? It doesn't post your entire message, it cuts the last part of it off?

Mine isn't a problem with waiting for the message box to load, this happens after i click submit post.

Hermes

ok, I was waiting for someone else to say they had the problem before I reported it - I'll give them a call...

they may want to access your accounts, cat and jahni - just fyi

I received the following from the forum peeps:

"I got your message this morning and I just have a few questions for your users. Did they by any chance type the character "<" on their posting? It might explain the partial dissapearance of their posting. Another explanation would be if the page did not completely load as some member had explained. When you post, do not type the character "<" or else all of your posting after that character will disappear. Use < instead.

The reason is because ActiveBoard also takes HTML code and the character "<" is character for starting a command, so ActiveBoard thought that they were writing an HTML command."

I highly doubt I typed that and it caused the problem seeing as how the problem occurred several times.

Whatever the problem was it hasn't happend in a few days.

I highly doubt it too. That's typical of the responses I get from them, "everything is working fine for us, you must be doing something wrong"

let me know if it happens again, and sorry for the frustration.
