flood protection...

I can't see any other threads on this, so hope you can help!

Today, for the first time, I haven't been able to simply use the back button and re-send if I get the flood protection message. However, today, twice so far, I have lost the message. It definitely puts me off re-doing the post, as it has, in both cases, involved putting links on, in answer to a question. Any ideas, John?

 

It has happened to me as well today, Dendro. I had responded to dalbuie about her Agave and had that message and my response was gone. I've also had the page unrecognisable message several times.

At first I thought it was my problems but since
several people have mentioned today about problems with GC.

 

Hope you dont mind but i dont seem to have a back button, well if i do i dont know where it is, i get quite a few of them flood messages and it is as you say dendrobium well annoying cos you have to type everything out again and most of the time if it is a story like this one you cant remember what you typed, well you might but i cant :confused: :eek: :D

 

Sunrise, sweetie, on your screen, above the Address: (http://www etc) line on the left there is a button with an arrow pointing to the left then it says Back and an arrow pointing to the right ... got it? That your "back button". Try it ... it takes you back to where you were before whatever happened.

I just got "this page cannot be displayed" ... so I'll try again ...

 

lol not computer minded you know that little blue funny shaped arrow is that the one you are talking about :confused: :eek: :D

 

lol found it it is not the one i was looking at i am hopeless when it comes to things like this, thank you very much for your help

 

I was using that, as it's not unusual to find the flood prompt - but it doesn't usually wipe what you've written. I've started copying what I've written now, so I can paste if it goes, so, of course, it's stopped doing it!!!!! Blinking computers!!!!
