billcoe Posted November 29, 2016 Author Posted November 29, 2016 3rd part did not post. It was simply a quote, I will try and put it up without the symbols which are normally utilized to indicate it's a quote. Quote

billcoe Posted November 29, 2016 Author Posted November 29, 2016 F**K!!!!!! System break. I feel like I'm talking to the mentally challenged here and it's going wrong as usual...... Quote
billcoe Posted November 29, 2016 Author Posted November 29, 2016 crap A lost city OK, found the issue, the blank post above this one has those very words in it, along with Quotation marks that were copied and pasted. Removing the " marks and I get text. Now we're getting somewhere. Woot! Quote
billcoe Posted November 29, 2016 Author Posted November 29, 2016 (edited) and the last part, after lost city, they believe dates back to 5,316 BCE and could have been part of the first capital of one of the earliest Egyptian empires. ... So it was the quotation marks around lost city that were copied and pasted led to the entire post being blank. Despite it appearing perfect in preview. Edited November 29, 2016 by billcoe Quote
billcoe Posted November 29, 2016 Author Posted November 29, 2016 Yes, I'm blaming "You people" for even allowing old people like me to get within 10 feet of or even touch computers. Sigh..... Quote
