tom1946 Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 I've got steam coming out of my ears!! Am I the only person that spends half an hour adding multiple pics and writing a long screed then suddenly losing the entire advert because it suddenly decides to go 1 page back to the main 'sell anything' list? it's happened to me 3 times now and I've lost the whole advert each time because it won't go back to where I was. Is there a problem with the site? or are apple macs hated? either way what's going on? I can't face doing it all again 'cos it'll probably disappear again. and breathe....

ped Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 It's not a known issue. When does it go back to the index, when you click post? I can probably find your post and sort it for you gimme a sec Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ped Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Nope nothing there - looks like you've backed out before hitting submit. Twitchy magic mouse finger? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RhysP Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Never had any problems with posting ads from my Mac. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discreet Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 (edited) Having wasted time and effort on multiple occasions, what I do is compose the ad in Notebook or Word (along with my pic URLs) then paste it all into the Basschat Editor for posting. Then if it goes walkies, at worst you only have to cut and paste your ad and post it again. Of course, you need to regularly save your Notebook or Word file, in case that goes ta-tas as well.

tom1946 Posted July 7, 2016 Author Share Posted July 7, 2016 Good idea Discreet, never thought of that. Ped, it usually happens while adding pics off photobucket, I copy the picture, in this case the last one and as I paste the URL it just vanishes and dumps me back to the ad's page and I don't know where all my work went. I tried going back but it's not there how do I save it as I go along?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discreet Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 If you spend enough time in the Posting Editor it should Autosave on a regular basis. I'm not sure how you manually save on here. I sometimes have everything go tits-up for no apparent reason and it turns out I've accidentally hit a format key or something with my giant banana fingers. But then you can't replicate the error deliberately - it's just something that happens occasionally. Computers, eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best to follow the advice above and draft it somewhere else then paste it in, I think... Cheers ped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
