For about a week now I have noticed that some of the comments from myself and a few other members have not been added, although the item states that it has been posted. If anyone else is experiencing this, I suppose that Dawn would be the person to notify and I will do that on Monday.

Yes, I've posted quite a few today and they haven't appeared, irritating to say the least when you take the trouble to comment.

<div>Well I've gone to a few today expecting to see the comments and they are missing. I also posted a comment on one item and it was posted to another one - gremlins at work Alan. Will e-mail Dawn about it.</div>

I'll leave that to you then Adele, Dawn will be back in the office on Tuesday. Could this be the reason that I had far fewer comments on my posting yesterday?, people commenting but not getting through...

The only thing I've noticed is that deleting a line of text seems to be taking longer than it did - ie, back-spacing to correct my rapid typing. Well, we'll see if this one gets through. http://www.isleofwightlandscapes.net http://www.wightpaint.blogspot.co.uk

PS - Adele - If you're wondering if your comments on a post of mine, which you didn't intend to put there, have also mysteriously disappeared, it's not a mystery: I deleted them because of course they didn't make sense there. I don't know where you intended to put them, so couldn't shift them for you. Suggest you try again to get the comment (on Derek and exercise) in the right place. How you got directed into the wrong place, I have no idea - everything seems to be working all right this morning; I'll try keeping my fingers crossed.... http://www.isleofwightlandscapes.net http://www.wightpaint.blogspot.co.uk

<div>Thanks for deleting it Robert as I didn't know how to. Shall I then send an e-mail to Dawn or leave it to you if we still have problems.</div>

If there are these problems, then I think you probably should email Dawn - at the moment, I can't find them: I've deliberately made several posts in the last half hour, to check the system as well as to indulge my love of waffling on at length - or exercising my pellucid prose, as you prefer - and so far they're all there still. Have you found problems today? It might be any number of things if this issue persists, and I don't have control of the site, just the ability to remove spam and moderate generally. Even Google is doing peculiar things on the Chrome browser at the moment, and has been for a month or so - if challenged, they suggest it's our corrupted History file, but if it were that, there wouldn't be many others affected: so half the time I don't think even the experts really know what's going on. You could try switching to another browser, eg Microsoft's Edge, or Internet Explorer, or Firefox or whatever it's called, and see if the same problem happens there (I'm assuming you're using Chrome, but if not just juggle the browser names until you get to yours). It's a fag, I know .... but I can't as yet at least find a problem peculiar to this site, and have exhausted my limited technological repertoire. God, this was a long answer to a simple question! Yes, then - if problem persists, email Dawn. Phew.... http://www.isleofwightlandscapes.net http://www.wightpaint.blogspot.co.uk
