Yep, or it comes up Answer 0 of 1 and no one gets to see it anyway :-(
-
Yes, it happens to me all the time.

sometimes

It happens to me quite a bit where I am now, not the AB sites fault but the firewall of the hotel. I suggest you do what I have started doing.. Just highlight and "COPY" your longer answers before you hit the submit button, that way if it is gone, you can just navigate back to the question and hit paste. Saves lots of typing..
-
Yes... at times (I don't have a firewall)... All I do is hit "refresh" and it finishes for me.

It happens to me, bur I recently discovered that if I go into my history rather than just clicking the back button, what I typed in the answer box was saved.
-
Yes, frequently. But when this happens, if I hit "Refresh", it will either post my Q&A the second time or state "Your Q&A has already been posted. You can go there in 3 seconds (or something like that).
-
Yup. This day is especially bad. I keep on reminding myself to copy my answer first before submitting it.

Don't forget to copy (select, copy/Control-C) your long comments, too. If they don't get placed, then you can comment again, and paste (control-v) it again. I've also had issues (not just today) with longer comments, and have had to cut-and-paste them with the first half in the first comment and 2nd half in the next one. Be sure to see http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/606378 and it's related question, answers and comments at http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/140234.

Yes. I just refresh the page when that happens, though, and it comes back.
-
Yes, I keyed in an answer with some technical information and since it was my first time, it told me I had to register. It didn't tell me it would trash my entry - but after I registered and then clicked to go back to the page I had been on, my answer was GONE!

It happened to me yesterday.

happened to me three times over a period of 3 days
-

O yeah, a couple of times. It's pretty annoying. Especially when you write out a nice long answer.

Yes, tonight it happened and the question that I kept trying to put through appeared three times under the questioned asked. Some individuals attacked me with abuse. They jumped the to the wrong conclusions and didn't waste any time about doing it. I have deleted my profile and am thinking about leaving answerbag. I tried to find the question (X3) to report the abuse but it had already been taken off.

Ya kinda pisses you off huh?
-
