Arrrrgh..........(*&%$%#%$# at $##^% problems of site postings

peter....wishing you and yours a very joyus CHRIST mas and all the best the new year can offer.

the other day, i took the time to send a very complimentary/detailed response to mr. valderama's comments on the murder rate in colombia.

as i am often given, i wrote at length and when finished, after a thoughtful review and editing, i pressed the button to post the comment only to receive the frickin proberbial response, "access denied". i can't count the number of times this has happened.

i'm not familiar/proficient with the mechanical/programming adjustments necessary to correct this problem, but i've read comments from other posters, who've suffered this problem.

can it be fixed, at least allowing the time to at edit one's postings? nothing is less positively reinforcing than to have an hour of ones time deleted. it certainly doesn't encourage one to do it again. it wouldn't be so bad if one could go 'back' and the work would still be there. unfortunately, one has to re login and look for the damn posting once again and start all over from scratch.

peace,

douglas

Copy and pasted before submitting
It had happened to most of us at some point, I am sure one of the reasons of this is for security, meanwhile while there is a workaround I advice to copy and paste your job before submitting, especially after you haven´d done so within 5 minutes.

Well dwmte ...... You aren't actually contributing to the readability of the board by making seriously stupid subjects for your posts ;-)

BTW dwmte .... Nobody keeps you from fixing it yourself as the source for Drupal is open for anybody to change you included

There's already one thread on this on other "topics/suggestions" ..... no need to start a new on the same thing

The timeout thing is a bug. I am trying to find someone to fix it. Sorry to hear about your post getting lost!

Poor but snappy

thanks, peter..........appreciate the attention you might hit up yep, i find him long on insult and criticism, but, as yet, short on constructive solutioning.

all the best for you and yours in the new year, peter.

from all of us, thanks, so much for this great site.

You're right, dw, he is long on insult and criticism, in other words, he fits right in. Maybe he needs a disclaimer. Oh yeah, well you're another one! And so's your mother!

Disclaimer: any comment I make is inane and is not to be taken seriously, and is so patently ridiculous that no one should take it seriously, even as an insult.
