olyclimber Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 Who runs this board? Hairy Pi? Timmy? Anyone? Who ever you are, the Trip Report function seems to be having a problem. If you post, and ask to review for editing before posting, then actually edit....it doesn't save what you edit in. Very frustrating! Hairy, fix it! Thanks.

Crackbolter Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 Yeah, the last TR I posted won;t let me go back and edit my poorly written content. I guess the TR is locked and doomed to be wrong forever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chucK Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 I've had that problem where you try to edit and it deletes most everything you wrote except what's in the little box. When that happens I've been able at least retrieve my text (then cut and paste to start all over), by doing the "back" button a couple of times to get to the page where you first submitted it.

Bronco Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 sounds like a personal attack by the site administrators! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klenke Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 Yes, I've had this problem too (as ChucK describes). I found a way to deal with it but I don't remember what that way was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crackbolter Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 Or maybe just don't post at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olyclimber Posted May 4, 2004 Author Share Posted May 4, 2004 Or maybe just don't post at all? Next time I have a problem posting I'll consider this option. This board isn't a good place for TRs anyway, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olyclimber Posted May 4, 2004 Author Share Posted May 4, 2004 BTW, the way around the problem is just to post the TR even if it is fscked up. Then after it is posted, go ahead and click edit and tidy up your speeling errors and re-add the chopped off sections if you can remember them. This way the editing worked and allowed me to save, at least. Or, give up on posting as mentioned before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crackbolter Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 "This post can no longer be edited because the maximum edit time has expired Please use your back button to return to the previous page. " The edit function doesn's work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olyclimber Posted May 4, 2004 Author Share Posted May 4, 2004 "This post can no longer be edited because the maximum edit time has expired Please use your back button to return to the previous page. " The edit function doesn's work. Well, this does sound like a Hairy Pie conspiracy. I guess you only get so long to edit them. I guess the only other option is to delete the original and repost.

Bronco Posted May 5, 2004 Share Posted May 5, 2004 A man walking along a California beach was deep in prayer. Suddenly the sky clouded above his head and, in a booming voice, the Lord said, "Because you have TRIED to be faithful to me in all ways, I will grant you one wish." The man said, "Build a bridge to Hawaii so I can drive over anytime I want." The Lord said, "Your request is very materialistic. Think of the enormous challenges for that kind of undertaking. The supports required to reach the bottom of the Pacific! The concrete and steel it would take! It will nearly exhaust several natural resources. I can do it, but it is hard for me to justify your desire for worldly things. Take a little more time and think of something that would honor and glorify me." The man thought about it for a long time. Finally he said, "Lord, I wish that I could understand my wife. I want to know how she feels inside, what she's thinking when she gives me the silent treatment, why she cries, what she means when she says 'nothing is wrong' and how I can make a woman truly happy." The Lord replied, "You want two lanes or four on that bridge?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
