Outdoor Power Equipment (Lawn Mowers, Snow Blowers, Chain Saws and more) Discussions

last week i posted a very detailed story about about a honda snowblower .at least i thought i posted it until the site told me i wasnt a member and couldnt post here.and my story was lost in a hurry.

i thought it was somthing i did...and even posted here about it.a few minutes later my computer went down and i didnt get back for days.

this evening i started posting a deatailed story about a kohler engine .

guess what it kicked me out again..and i even checked to see if i was still logged in and i was.

when i hit the post button ...there it was gone .

sombody seems to be playing a nasty trick here.

im not very computer savvy but small engines are my experienca .

if you like me helping then someone best help me.

later a very disapointed chris 

Hi Chris,

At least one of the problems you were having seems to be similar to what happens to me once in a while here.  If I'm logged in, and while writing a post, it seems if I take too long to post it, the sites somehow signs me out.  At that point, I end up having to write the post all over again.  I don't know if it has to do with my Windows XP Pro operating system since I recently upgraded to Service pack 2.  I'm hoping you'll get around to writing your posts again, I'm sure many would benefit from them.

Chris, sorry buddy, I can understand your frustration.

Go to your member area (profile) and check the box in the lower left corner that says keep me logged in.

That should do it.

We've requested a longer time out for those that don't do this.

Chris,
If you will, type it in Word or your favorite word processor program. Send it to me I will type it and see if I have a problem. And if you save it you will still have it. I have one 98 machine that I can try a long post on. Might take until tomorrorw afternoon to get to the machine. But I can do it anytime from here.

If you save it in a word processor program, you can cut and paste into this site.

This site has been pretty good after some growing pains at the beginning.

Maybe this has happened to others?

My Account then in the bottom right hand corner there is a check box. Didn't even notice it.

And I saw the one about the Advanced thing.

I had the same problem but did what Marshall said and it allowed me to write until everyone reading my post fell asleep...

Actually, I just made that up. Shoveler, it's a conspiracy against you. MissSnowshoveler told us you liked practical jokes and we couldn't resist. We contacted the CIA, they were a big help in determining when you would actually post. The video of you kicking the computer is hilarious.   We"ll leave out the audio when we play it.

Well I just posted my first review and I had no problems. (But then again I have found that little box and had it checked last Saturday.)

I know that I type faster then my darling Chris and he should maybe type them in another program and save them - but we don't have a typable word program.  Maybe the old fashion way of pen and paper and them I could type them for him.  (But I won't mention that to him, let him read that here.)

PS - It does take him a long time to type

Hey guys,

How do you get pictures to post with your reviews???

Sherri

You should have Wordpad and Notepad in Windows. under accessories.
