Just out of curiousity I wanted to see if I could post a blog. I was working on a little challenge quilt so I blogged about it and it went up without a hitch. For what it's worth, some of us can post blogs. I'm with Jane, I think it was the meteor.

I did have an error trying to use the "Contact" form as well. I have since been able to post a new blog and comment on other blogs. I haven't tried using the "Contact" form. Would it help if I tried it out now to see if I can use it without getting the error message?

Jane

Ok, thanks for clarifying. Are you also getting an error trying to use the "Contact" form or are you saying you simply could not find an answer within the "Help" page topics?

Bob

Hi Bob. Just for clarification the problems had occurred when posting on the Member Blogs or comments to those blogs. I went to The Forum to initiate this topic because I couldn't accomplish anything through the HELP bar on the Member Blogs.

Jane

Sorry for the problems. To make sure, everyone is talking about posting on the Member Blogs or comments to those blogs, correct? Or are people talking about posting on the forum?

If it happens again, please copy and paste all of the exact error message you receive.

Rosemary, try again. I didn't do anything different than I've ever done and suddenly it works again. As I wrote my new post I constantly updated to check to see if anything was going to vanish and it was continually fine. When I posted it and it worked it actually surprised me !! I orginally was handwriting every word and then typing it so no matter what happened I had the text to e-mail to Bob and ended up not needing it. Maybe it was the meteor?

Why don't those of you who are having trouble copy and paste your blog, or partial blog to an email before you update it so that you have something to send Bob just incase it disappears into the purgetory you talk about?

I tried to do a post yesterday, but when I went to update/save the text I got the same problem and the whole lot disappeared into the ether. So I don't have any text to send you to try out. I gave up after that as I just didn't have the time or inclination for the hassel. Will probably try again in the next couple of days and will let you know then.

Ok, great to hear. Please email me in the future should you have any further problems.

Bob, I just successfully posted with no problems whatsoever! Yay. I was actually timidly writing the post, updating constantly to see if I got an error message and never had a problem. Thank you for your attention to this so quickly and if I have any more problems, I'll let you know. Smooth sailing for now.

Blessings,
Jane

Sorry you're having problems. After testing the Member Blogs and the Blog comments, I can't seem to duplicate the problem through using a variety of different characters that might create an issue, like a single quote ( ' ), but was not able to get it to return an error.

Can anyone send me text that causes a problem so I can look at it. You can email me directly at [url]contact[/url]

If you're copying/pasting from MS Word (or the like), there may be characters that create a problem, but I would need the original text to test it myself.

Thanks,

Oh I didn't doubt it... I was just sayin'. I have been trying to comment on some of the BOM show and tell images. It will let me do some but not others. I am sure it will be sorted asap.

Just got a note from Bob. He is working on it.

I was trying to upload some photos onto a blog and it wouldn't let me do it. Hope they get this fixed soon.
