Topic: Man, this forum hates me! (Official Tech Support Thread)

About every other post I make is truncated, so I have to go back in the browser, copy the whole message and edit my original.

Also, I'm now up to 4 or 5 correct answers being needed for punbot to let me post (Edit: OK 3 on this post, but still!)

If you don't like me, just say so! (I kid!)

Anyone else having issues like this?

Re: Man, this forum hates me! (Official Tech Support Thread)

I've had to answer up to three questions to make one post several times.  I've had two posts gets truncated.

I, too, have had the truncation problem.

(Which is yet another reason why, when anything I'm composing to post online gets longer than a few sentences, I open a Word document and copy & paste it into that before trying to post it.  That way, if anything goes wrong, I still have all my work available to try again.)

But I, myself, have had the truncation problem only a few times -- not even nearly every other post.

And I've never had to answer more than 1 question to post.

This is my exact experience.

One post truncated (my last one about 0-level professionals).

3 questions answered.

Re: Man, this forum hates me! (Official Tech Support Thread)

I should say that I've never had it truncate when I edit a post (usually to put back what was lost, but sometimes to make modifications).

I should also say that it hasn't always done this.

The truncating started a little over a month ago and the multiple questions only about two weeks, I think.

I've removed the security question when posting, instead it will only be asked when registering a new account.

Please continue to report here any problems you encounter.
