Tip for Posting when JU is Hinky

from JoeUser Forums

JU is acting Hinky today {GASP} .  Yes it is true.  Many have been posting 2, 3 or more times because they get an error when posting an article.  It happens, it has happened before, and probably will again.

Just a suggestion for those not wanting the hassle of multiple articles saying the exact same thing.  When you get the error message, open a second browser window (leave the original one on the Article you are trying to post) and navigate to Joe User/Newest Articles.  If it is listed, just close the first window.

Make sure you open a new window.  This is for 2 reasons.  If the first window really did not post, you can always hit "submit" again (after hitting the back button).  Second, by opening a new window and navigating to the Newest article page, you ensure you will get a refresh of that page, and not a cached copy (which the latter could lead you to think it did not take the first time).

Just a trick of the trade I figured out after having to clean up several burps of my articles as well.

I did that, doc...but it took several minutes for my article to show up...and since I can't save to the hard drive, I published it three times before finally publishing it to a sister blog. I cleaned it up, though!

Yours is indeed a different situation, but your cross posting is another good idea for those who have more than one blog account.

Why would you say that?

I've started to get into the habit of writing, then 'edit: select all', then 'edit: copy' before clicking submit. When JU is hinky the article/reply usually does post to the forums even if you get a time out or some other error message, so I don't post again. I then just go to the forums to see if the article/reply is actually there. For the odd occasion when it might not be - well, I've already 'edit: select all', then 'edit: copy'ed, so it hasn't been lost.

Totally fun tonite... I hope those that aren't reading the tips are smart enough to make judicious use of the 'delete' option on those duplicate articles.

Actually that word should be changed from "Hinky" to the words "like a liberal burning through tax-payer money"

I try to remember to do that all the time as well, but forget on occassion.  And that is usually when it does not post!  Murphy's law in action!
