RE: Site Function Problems

Papa I am still not receiving anything by email and it isn't going into my spam folder and my email on my profile is up to date I'm just wondering if there are any updates about this?

RE: Site Function Problems

I am not receiving email alerts when I receive a pm, poem comment or replies to a forum post I have edited and changed nothing about my email so if you are able to Papa I would appreciate your help.

RE: Site Function Problems

hello.
I am quite upset as I just realized that several of my poems that I have written, have vanished from the site? I have just submitted a new poem entitled..
"and then there was you". spent the better part of my morning doing so, and submitted it, only to have it disappear? i did not save it as a draft, and now it is lost!
I could try to re-create, but alas, the words are eluding me.
this is very upsetting. my bio says I have written 69 poems, but in actuality, there are quite a few more! Is there a way to prevent this? should i always save as a draft?
I never did so before, and should I now have to save all the poems of mine, and my fellow poets onto a disk? this kind of stinks! please please please let me know what the problem is, and what can be done to prevent this?
I shall now write something short, and submit it, just to see if it happens again?
I do so appreciate any feedback.
sincerely, Foreverpoet~confused

I'd save a copy on your PC before you post it to the web site just to be sure.

This is happening to quite a few people lately, and I'm trying to narrow the issue down.

Who else is having this trouble?

Oh my that is terrible that you lost poems....This is the very reason why I keep copies of all my work and I get my copyright from myfreecopyright.com before I post them to any website......It pays to be safe with your hard work......I hope papa can find them for you.......blessings dear.....love asha

foreverpoet -

I always always save my work on my PC, print a hardcopy, and back up my files regularly.

It stinks to lose a piece of work you've spent time and effort on.

Hopefully Papa can fix the problem.

This is good advice for now. I can't even reproduce the problem right now.

RE: Site Function Problems

A friend of mine that I attend a poetry workshop with had his PC crash and he had nothing backed up. I PRINT on hardcopy every poem I write, whether I hand write first, then I type it and immediately print it. That way no matter what happens you have the copy to retype it from. I know ink can get costly, but the frustration I would have losing my work is certainly worth buying ink... Oh and my friend started using GOOGLE as a word processing instrument and saved all his poems on their site. I don't do that cause I usually handwrite poems and as I already said, I always type and print a copy after.

A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
