Problem

[prunus]

Can someone explain to me why when I first answered the kind messages they went but none that I wrote yesterday seem to have. I spent a long time replying to everyone and when I came to turn off the computer for the night they seem to have been lost. They are not there this morning and I am very upset after all my effort. Is there any why of retrieving them? What can I do?

[SnazzyD]

Oh nooo! Did you hit reply on each one before you shut up shop for the night?

[prunus in reply to SnazzyD]

I thought I had done.

[SnazzyD in reply to prunus]

😣 one of those. Unless you hit send, they are not safe. Sometimes mine has a funny 5 minutes and the reply button greys out for no apparent reason. I know you want to reply but nobody is expecting one and wouldn’t think less of you for not sending one; you have plenty on at the moment. You could do a group post when you feel up to it.

[prunus in reply to SnazzyD]

Thanks for that. I have sent a message to Fran Benson. On Wednesday everything was OK and today it is. Yesterday I did some replies in the morning and some in the evening and I have lost the lot.

[SnazzyD in reply to prunus]

Were the morning ones there when you can back to do the later ones?

[prunus in reply to SnazzyD]

Yes the morning ones were still there when I came back in the evening but I had left the computer on standby.

[SnazzyD in reply to prunus]

Ah I don’t know what computer you’ve got but if my daughter’s computer goes into standby it loses everything.

Not sure Fran can help, other than pass on to HU admin…She moderates this forum, but the issue is not our forum, it’s the HU platform

I got one from you Prunes. Just send a group message that will do.

[DorsetLady PMRGCAuk volunteer in reply to SnazzyD]

Very annoying when that happens because you’re never sure if system has accepted it or not!

[prunus in reply to DorsetLady]

That was why I had left it on standby - it was threatening me that I would loose them if I turned the computer off. I did not know what I had done different to usual. I thought maybe it would have sorted itself out by evening.

[DorsetLady PMRGCAuk volunteer in reply to prunus]

Yes but you may have left that actual post -think it’s something you’ll never know. It is very annoying at the best of times, but obviously very upsetting for you.

[DorsetLady PMRGCAuk volunteer]

Sorry, but if they’re not there, they’re not there…..

Are you sure you hit the reply button each time …not being rude, but in your state of mind you may not have been concentrating that well.

I’m sure you are very upset by it, but others will understand, and when they read this post they will take it as general “thank you” from you. 🌸

[prunus in reply to DorsetLady]

I thought I had done. I had gone to so much trouble because I wanted everyone to be thanked individually. I had worked so hard because I appreciated so much everyone's kind thoughts and prayers.

[DorsetLady PMRGCAuk volunteer in reply to prunus]

As I said, don’t worry about answering individually -I’m sure most didn’t expect you to anyway. It’s like receiving condolence cards through the post -you don’t need to acknowledge every one.

When things have settled and you are in a slightly better place maybe write a post then to thank everyone. 🌸

[prunus in reply to DorsetLady]

Thank you for that advice. I have been overwhelmed by everyone's kindness.

[Constance13]

I noticed that when I read a few of the answers this morning. Strange!Hope you are beginning to cope prunus (a day at a time). 🍀🍀🍀

[prunus in reply to Constance13]

I'm not really with it, I must admit.

[Constance13 in reply to prunus]

It’ll take a LONG time before you’re “with it”. Take your time - nobody hassling you.

[prunus in reply to Constance13]

I thought of you yesterday when my son insisted on taking me out to a NT garden. The wallflowers, tulips and bluebells were beautiful to behold unlike the view out of your windows.

[Constance13 in reply to prunus]

“unlike”???😂😂😂

[Longtimer in reply to prunus]

I got your reply ok..thank you...

[piglette]

I got a thank you from you, so it may be OK.

[SheffieldJane]

Your first post about your sad loss got 181 replies - that is a lot - interspersed with your sweet replies. Worry not, we’re here, no worries regarding your friends on this forum prunus. One day at a time. 🌹🌹🌹

[Hidden]

Happens to me all the time and it’s always my best messages that I lose! I thought it was because I took so long creating them but expect it’s just me being careless. Never mind though, we know you read the replies and are thinking about you. Take care, be strong.

[Decsgran]

I had a reply from you!

[Didgeydo]

Hi,make sure you tap the submit key as the messages will disappear.Good luck.

You’re unlikely to find out what went wrong but don’t beat yourself up Prunus. It will cause you more unnecessary upset. Take each day at a time and , if you have to, send one message to everyone. Everyone does understand. 🌺
