Default Where is my 'History of Memorial Day' article?

I spent a whole hour yesterday morning before work researching the United States Memorial Day and submitted a grand article on it, I love to shorten long articles and learn at the same time, and can't find it anywhere on here, and I actually thought I posted it twice...but I can't find it here...are there more server issues or what?

I have noticed several times that I will post and submit something and my message hasn't seemed to have gone through; I go back to Forums and the topic and there it is...this time it wasn't....and it was SUCH an informative article, too



Oh well, the positive thing is I learned more about U.S. history that I didn't know...

The server was experiencing all kinds of issues from apparent .dos attacks to server load problems and who knows what else. I foud the sites to be unresponsive a number of times yesterday and contacted tech. support at least two or three times.

The best thing you can do at times like this is get into the habit of copying/pasting your larger posts into an external editor such as Microsoft Word. This way if you lose your post on site you can retrieve it from your external program.

I have made the decision to try this again, and though we don't celebrate Memorial Day in Canada, it gives me a chance again to honour our neighbours across the border...

Duke is right Luba. If you are going to write a long article or make a long post...it's important to get in the habit of copying it before you hit submit...especially when the server is goofing up. I've lost a hundred posts thru the years due to that happening. It's SOOOOOOO annoying.
