Is Anybody Else Having Trouble Posting?

I spent an hour writing a post about growing beets. When I posted it, I realized I had forgotten to include something, so did a revision. Then I saw that part of my post was missing, so I revised again and rewrote that part. When I submitted that, my whole post disappeared!!!!

Reminds me of an old Beatles song.... "Someone left my cake out in the rain. I don't think that I can take it, cause it took so long to bake it, and I'll never have the recipe again!" --Ilene

Moral of story (where GW is concerned), compose your post OFFLINE in a word processor or text editor if it's very long. Then copy/paste.
Yeah, I've had similar issues on the fairly rare event that I originate a post.

Oh technology...it's great when it works. Sometimes the post never shows up. Sometimes it's half gone, eaten by the computer vortex monster. Sometimes GW doesn't allow members to sign in--so they can't post, comment, do anything. May all of your posts go smoothly! (We can cross our fingers, right?)

How are you going about it? Copy/paste won't work. You MUST either use the camera icon at the bottom of the posting box (don't rely on double clicking, use the buttons offered to you) OR use a live link to a photo posted somewhere on the web already via the link icon below that box. I don't know if all the odd ways are working or have been crippled, but those two methods still work as of ten minutes ago. With FFox.

Here's the support discussion related to changes in the update: [https://www.houzz.com/discussions/new-look-for-gardenweb-topics-dsvw-vd~5342444?n=965[(https://www.houzz.com/discussions/new-look-for-gardenweb-topics-dsvw-vd~5342444?n=965) Lots of stuff, but photo problem is well described in one of the most recent posts (currently last) by NHBabs Lot more said on the Antique Rose forum here: [https://www.houzz.com/discussions/houzz-is-so-screwed-up-dsvw-vd~5332908?n=97[(https://www.houzz.com/discussions/houzz-is-so-screwed-up-dsvw-vd~5332908?n=97) Photo size/format, browser, etc may be factors - but pretty obvious the upgrade open a box of problems on top of several modified preferences. Hats off to Emily for keeping positive.

I have not had the notifications problems, but it’s sometimes difficult to post. The closer I am to my wireless source usually the better the load. It also has to do with your bandwidth And you have. Also, some times of the day are better than others. Agree with sherrygirl, evenings can be better. Also it could how old your iPad is. Sometimes if you have an old version it takes longer to do things or you stop being able to get software updates which make it easier. This is why I had to buy a new desktop, the one I had could not use any newer versions of Safari. Good luck!
