Seems like every time I start writing a great post, the Activerain network closes the curtain on Vegas Bob/Alaska ;o(
And with 8 years at AR coming up in Jan of 2016, 4507 total blogs and only 21 featured blogs it's quite frustrating.
So even if AR posts that they will be closing the curtain, could they please call or text Vegas Bob and let him know?
VB is a very busy man ... Thanks ;o)
The same thing happened to me yesterday.
Maybe if they had a count down warning alert that shows up on all our screens before they actually shut it down? It would give us a minute or two to save our Pulitzer blog that never came to fruition.

Hi Vegas Bob - I guess it is not as much an issue for us on the East coast. But I was working late and it happened to me too.

Oh, Bob! It's not just you! I tried to log on last night to write a post and a few comments, and I got it, too. I think they do that whenever there is maintenance. If you keep getting it, which has happened to me a bunch of times, close Firefox (or whatever you are using) and re-open it. Sometimes switching web browsers also helps.
You needn't take it personally!

Haha, how rude of them to not give you a personal heads up, they should be ashamed of themselves.

Sorry Vegas. LMAO I was a little upset last night when I hit the comment button and the curtain came down at the same time. Would have been really upset had it been a post. Hopefully you are able to salvage most of it from drafts. Make it a great weekend. Mark

VB - I am so sorry that happened to you. It certainly was not personal. We are all very busy and no one likes it when work is wasted ... or when the curtain falls.

I thought they were going to auto-save drafts? Did you check your draft folder? Might be there?

Maybe it just went into autosave. All I lost were a few good thoughts for comments and that had nothing to do with the computer

Good morning Bob,
I would also like a notice when the power, modem and when my next ace on the golf course will be.
The glitches of life.
Make yourself a great day.

Thanks for stopping by everyone, and I know it's nothing personal towards VB/AB ... ;o/
But the next time, I will be expecting my text or phone call from Activerain ;o)

LOL! I think it is Murphy's Law coming into play. I've had that happen too. HA!

I was in the middle of finishing up a post when the curtain fell. I waited until the next day to finish. It was all good except some formatting issues that looked goofy.

I've noticed this to be the case with me as well. We're all in similar boats that way, I suppose.
I also agree with Debbie about the formatting issues. Like I said, we're on the same boat.
