Have you ever experienced posting your blog entry or perhaps submitting a comment when suddenly red curtains rolled down? Well, I’m talking of the Intermission that ActiveRain imposes whenever fixes to bugs and updates of any sort are implemented on the platform. During these times, members cannot perform their usual tasks nor can anyone view the blogs inside the platform.
This was the very same instance that happened to me 19th of December on the AR platform. I was about to drop a comment for Suesan’s blog about writing bad posts. I knew that I had written the comment, but when I clicked the Submit button, the image below was returned on my browser. I do not know whether it was successfully posted or not!
I know that updates or intermissions (as ActiveRain wants to call it) are good to better the performance of the system to help real estate agents and other professionals do more with the platform. However, it’s a little bit embarrassing especially when you are in a hurry! This may be because of several important and not-so-important things lined up on your day’s schedule ranging from business to personal activities and anything in between and thingamajigs.
What I have learned from this instance was to always have Mr. Microsoft Word or any other word processor open. Type your comments or blog posts there first and save it. From there, copy it to the platform until you’ve successfully posted blogs or comments you’ve made. This will save you from the frustration of being caught up by the red curtains!

Updates:
The red curtains were finally raised and the show started once more! ActiveRainers are happy that they can continue reading informative posts, doing their own blogs, submitting comments, and more.
I am finally able to post what I had done several hours ago. I am not aware what time the red curtains were raised because I had to attend to other things while this was happening.
To my surprise, the comment I did to Suesan’s blog was there!
