Did you use quick reply? If not, then hit preview before you post.

Tried it.  My posts still don't show amongst the other posts, unless I have just replied.

For instance, on the forum index, I currently show as having made the last post in the US section.  Click the little page for that last post, and OpMod's post shows, though none of mine do, even though I have several on that page.

Did you use quick reply on any of the ones that didn't show up?

If you used the regular reply menu, hit preview, and it still doesn't show, then I have no idea.

I doubt that.

If I were to post a reply in that thread right now, I would hit "post" and the screen would blick showing my last reply and three others on that page.  If I do anythng else on the board and return to the second page of that thread, none of my posts are visible.

so you're still losing post?  OR you still can't get the ones that you lost to post?  I can only see 2 posts for you when I hit reply they are both the same post and one posted.

None are really lost, but they only display if I've just hit reply.

Looks like it is fixed now.  Thanks again.

old ones that didn't show up are gone...but new replies when the thread has been updated between when you started to reply and when you hit "submit" -- that bug should be fixed.

Mods, check out Boo-Hoo! Illegal gets cash seized in the United States forum. 

Had many replies now show in thread.  I assume it could have been due to size of post. 

Might want to look into it.

Sorry, its the same problem everyone else is having.

I made a post, showed up in the thread and then when I clicked out of the forum and came back to it, the reply was gone.  You have to click reply to be able to see the lost posts.

It may be because my post was so big, I instead broke it into pieces and had like 5 replies.  That seemed to work.

So are we able to make huge posts or should we keep it short and sweet?

Some posts I put up on other threads are short and sweet yet they disappear in the reply void as well.

Is there any way to make sure that replies don't vanish from threads that can only be found when clicking reply?

Same problem in another thread.  I left this for Biker Dude twice, but it will not stay visibly posted.

The story about the prince who married a prince is being read to children here. The purpose is to make sure that no children is unfamiliar at the idea. They are very young and anythign you teach them becomes "natural", a part of the amazing world.

I agree.

Can I not reserve the right to explain to my kids, in my own time?
The reality of the world is that there will be many times they see or hear something before you think they are 'ready'.  If you want that level of control over what they are exposed to, I would think a compound in Idaho might be appropriate.

I don’t actually think a seven year old child would need that level of shelter to not have a homosexual pairing set forth by the state as a normal or positive model.

I myself choose to educate my son to think critically about what he sees and experiences, not to hide him from those experiences.

BD, did you think NR or I choose differently?  Your choice is false, btw.  A child can be taught to think critically without having homosexual pairing set forth by the state as a normal or positive model.

Your posited purpose for telling stories to second graders, in school, about one prince marrying another is that "it is reality"?  That is the purpose behind having the state introduce the subject to seven year olds?

If that were really the purpose, it would also seem correct to include all sorts of other behaviours in children's stories, behaviours I wouldn't care to have a state employee discussing with my children.
Remove the 'prince' and yes it is entirely possible.  In fact it is entirely more believable than the alternative.

Why remove the “prince”?  That is part of story.  A state employee tells second graders a fairy tale (no pun) in which the happy ending (no pun) is a homosexual pairing.  I believe that the purpose is not neutral, but to teach children that such a pairing is acceptable or natural as MZL indicates.  If reality is the test of this story, does one of the princes succumb to AIDS?  Do they meet at a New Jersey highway men’sroom?

What level of advocacy and “reality” does the state need to expose a second grader to?

But it does not address you 'other' behaviors.  If you would like to have a discussion about mainstream, what is close, and what is completely out in left field, it might address your 'other' behaviors. 

Certainly.  Let’s consider a positive model of the following behaviours presented by the state to seven year olds.

Prostitution
Domestic violence
Drug abuse
Prison rape
Mass murder

Sadly, none of these are uncommon.  They are all part of reality.  Which would you oppose modelling for children?


Title: Re: Some posts are missing, but only sometimes
Post by: zukiphile on October 03, 2007, 10:32:21 AM
Same problem.  BD, I left the following post for you.

I don't mind discussing the topic, but the technical challenge in actually getting a post to "stick" is beyond me.


Since obviously none of that was addressed specifically to you, I don't quite see your issue.  But carry on.



Apologies.  Since we were discussing this, I assumed it was addressed to me.

Good move going for all the obvious violent ones.  By all means let's not tell the little darlings that any of this happens.  And therefore by extension let's not tell them any of it is wrong.  Let's take the same approach that has been 'advocated' for same sex pairings, and pretend it doesn't happen in reality.  So later on, the kids will get a big surprise! 

So you would teach all of the bolded subject to second graders?  Or was your response soley to ridicule rather than inform?


Title: Re: Some posts are missing, but only sometimes
Post by: zukiphile on October 03, 2007, 12:04:09 PM
And this post won't take either.

Does the book also show a relationship between an adult a little kid? 'cause pedophiles exist too. Or is that not until the next edition?

Good point.  I anticipate that BD will protest that this is unfair.
Any moron can see the difference between something deemed currently illegal, an something not.  I can see there is little value in actually attempting to discuss with you when you come out with crap like this.

My forecast as to your response was accurate.  If legality is now your test for what a second grader should be taught by the state, should the story of princes marrying be told only in states in which princes can marry.

But then your point fails here because simply telling a story that mentions 'a prince marries another prince' does NOT make same sex unions part of the curricula either.


Are you addressing the legal issue of same sex unions?  If the story of two marrying princes has no pedagogic value, why is it being taught in schools?  If it is teaching "reality" then the fairy tales could become fairly ugly.

You object to my bringing up the fact that this is an employee of a state monopoly school system undertaking the act, as if that were irrelevent.
You also seem to quite happily skip over large portions of post.  Makes it hard to honestly discuss with you.  Kinda like the crap above.
[/quote]

What about the above makes it hard for you to honestly respond to the point?  I quote the portion to which I specifically respond. 

So rather than address the fact that this is an act of the state, your thoughtful response is "Kinda like the crap above"?

Quote
I can go with ridicule.  I am happy to ridicule your desire to hide from the big bad world.

That's a pretty frank admission that you've no desire to discuss the issue, unless it is with people who agree with you.  This story has a happy ending for you.  Your wish is granted.

Good luck with the board.
I will frankly admit that I view you as close minded.  And extraordinarily stuck in your ways.  And I am ridiculing your seemingly endless mis-interpretations of my posts. 

I also find it amusing that you quite freely ridiculed BBW for getting into the discussion, then attempting to bow out when you said something he didn't like.  Now you do the exact same thing.  Interesting. 

BBW asked a question and responded with his good-bye.  I've slogged through pages of your incivility and yours and BBW's strawmen, now to be met with the board displaying my posts about a third of the time.  I don't mind discussing the issues with you when you've cooled down a bit, but I would prefer to do it on a board that works.

This one doesn't.  So your conclusion that I've done the exact same thing is factually incorrect.

Something about the posts themselves?  They don't show here either.  I find that to be bizarre...

Still happening:

http://www.itsallpolitics.com/forum/index.php?topic=403.0 (http://www.itsallpolitics.com/forum/index.php?topic=403.0)

I posted a lengthy response to Ryan.
It didn't show up.

I C&P'd it, posted again and still nothing

zukiphile tried the same thing.

Still nothing.

Very frustrating.

Sometimes I can make someone else's post show by quoting it, but you appear to be "special".


Funny story.

I have posts in this thread that don't show noting posts in other threads that don't show.

I do recall noticing the other kids buses were much longer than mine.

Call it bus envy.
