Why is it that every time I type a really good post and submit it I get a message that says "no post mode specified" and my post gets lost forever. This often happens multiple times, leading me to get frustrated and type an infinitely less good post that sometimes causes trouble because it wasn't completely thought out.

What gives?

It means you took too long. I got it a few times too. If you push "Back" on your browser when you get it, it'll take you back to the posting page, where you SHOULD still have the message in it's entirety. Push "Submit" again, and it'll post successfully, with no double post.

Don't count on it still being there when you push back. That must be a browser specific occurance, because it never is for me.


Always copy your long post into a text file before posting it.

I use FireFox, and it usually works for me.

And I use IE 6.

Hey, cavemen are people too

I've had that too. I wonder if that happens when you take too long to actually posyt the message. That's happened to me after entering pics from my customs. It is frustrating. Maybe if you do it on Word doc. and then copy and paste?

Doesn't work that way for me. Pushing back redirects me to the same page with the same message "no post mode specified." I have to hit back really really rapidly to get back to an empty post a reply box.

Well, it is the only thing that still runs on rocks. No outlets here in the precambrian age.

A few years ago, I thought IE6 was freakin' awesome. Then, on a whim, I tried FireFox, just for the hell of it. (My uncle and a guy in one of my classes said it was more awesome than IE)

I fell in freakin' LOVE with it almost instantly. The best part had to be the tabs. When I used IE, I had to open a whole new window if I wanted two pages open at once. With FireFox, I only had to click the mouse-wheel on a link, and it opens in a new tab in the same window, so I could easily open multiple pages without having to change windows.

But I'm sure you knew that.

Yeah, I'm aware of the tabs.
