Amend Your User Id

Okay I spoke to Adam briefly about this and I thought maybe it was just my puter..... Now I am not so sure.

I have noticed several times when I am sending a PM that once I type out an nice long PM and hit enter that I get an error message telling me that the user name is not found. I then need to amend the user id as requested and once I click on this to go back wallah.... message body is gone. Arrrrgggghhhh.... Crap!

This has happened to me on PM replies and PM's that I choose a member from my buddy list. So in saying this me thinks it is not me that is making the mistake because I am choosing a prexisiting user name that has previously worked before.

With some luck Adam and Norsky or any other puter guru's here may be able to find a fix for what is seemingly a problem.

Another reason I am bringing this up is because I know of another couple of members now who have been experiencing the same issue.

I have had this happen frequently enough that I now resort to copying the message prior to hitting the send button in the advent I receive the dreaded error message.

Soooooo, how about it? Any of youuse (sorry, borrowed that werd from Joel) guyz & galz havin this or a similar problem? Enquiring minds shore do want ta know! Tuxblacray2008-10-01 12:30:14

Yes. During the past two weeks or so I have had the same result when using the PM function.

Yuper's it happened to me also, thought it was my piece of junk.

Ditto - I can't count how many times I've had that happen.  Most of the time it is related to my session "timing out" and I need to log in again to complete the message.  I too have gotten in the habit of copying/pasting the message into NotePad before clicking the Send button.

Add me to it.

Like Ron, I thought it was just a senior moment, happening every 3 or 4 PM's.  I had convinced myself that I was not clicking exactly on Submit and then hit Home or something that got me out of it.  That was for the last few months. 

In the last few weeks, it has come with the message Tux speaks of. So, I'll take the rap for the last few months, but now I can play the blame game and rest comfortably in the assurance that it's SEP (somebody else's problem). 

Yep, happened to me before too. Ive been copying my message before going back when I get the error message.

Exact same thing happened to me in March of this year.  I was trying to send a PM to Adam and got the error message.  After several e-mails back and forth we determined that the problem was with my computer because no one else was having the problem.  Like Ron and Dennis, I thought it was me having a senior moment.   I have not had the problem recently.  Misery loves company!
