OldFatGuy: I'm NOT saying this is why others are having this problem... Let me repeat, I'm NOT saying this is why others are having this problem, but I wanted to point out for info purposes only that this will happen if your post has problems with brackets [ ] such as one missing, or one bracket starting a command (like bold) but then the other bracket is missing, or especially when quotes are included and there is a mismatch between the quotes and /quotes.
^^ is the most common cause I've found

Been there, done that 8) It's happened to more times than I would like to remember. More squirrels are needed for GOGs' super secret bandwidth gizmo.

I too have to say the only time I've experienced this the posts included several quotes, though this was also before I installed the BarefootEssentials tool which cleared up some forum issues I was having.

Licurg: I do. I suspect the reptilians are behind it .
So.........you suspect the Scarrans, Xindi, Rodian or the ones who eat little mice?

It's usually this indeed.
Sometimes, however, your post just vanishes without the message lol

It only happens to me when I reply to somebody and accidentally erase brackets !

Happens to me quite often, I have to overuse the refresh.

Like mine did an hour or so ago when I was trying to pass on survival information that could help anyone survive a disastrous situation! That's fine, I can take a hint and humanity is meant to die. Can't say I didn't try! :P

I've lost several posts because of this too. -.-

It would be nice if the messages were two way. I'd like to think that on GOG's forum server, they get little messages that say [from the user] "Waiting. Please process..." :P

It happens to me mostly when I'm trying to post long messages as replies. There is a lot of editing going on when I do that so It is not unlikely that the square bracket issue is the cause.

Wasn't May 2011 a fine time in GOG's history? :D

My bank account would disagree, so might yours.

Edit: After noticing your registering date.
