What is it with Tcs???

Everywhere else(other forums) there is no problems posting.When I post here it really p's me off.
I was on dial up and every post seemed to take forever to post.
Now I have broadband and they STILL take forever to post,then after waiting five minutes it comes up with page cannot be displayed and my post isn't there.
Which means I cannot be arsed writing it all out again.......Sometimes I wonder why I bother????
Oh heck!! I can't be bothered!!anyone got an answer??Please

I don't have any answers for you as to why the posting takes so long, but I do have a suggestion for if it should happen to you again. Once you finish typing up your post, before you hit the submit button, highlight your entire post, right click, and pick "copy". If the post craps out when you submit it (locks up and disappears), you can start your post over and you only have to right click inside the post space and hit "paste".

I have that problems sometimes, but it happens with other sites as well.
I did wind up doing like Sophie suggested, if it seems like it's going to take a while to post I highlight my post and copy just in case.

I couldnt say it better myself, that is exactly what I was thinking, sometimes my computer does that but rarely but as long as u copy it before u submit it, u wont have to retype what u had typed !!! I Know what you mean though because sometimes i get the page cannot be displayed, it may be because so many people are also posting at that time for both things u said, how it takes long and what not, another thing is if I leave my computer on for a really long time sometimes it will load things slow so idk hope this was a little bit helpful to you !!

My pages load really slowly here too. It's gotten better than it used to be for some reason.
When posting I usually do the quick reply as the advanced one takes so long to load.

Nothing to do with TCS. Did anybody notice that the old 56K dialup kept slowing down and down and down and then when everybody said they had to go to broadband it started slowing down and down and down and now they are saying that you have to move to fiber and after you move to fiber guess what is going to happen? Then something new will come along and for some magic reason, the old stuff just doesn't work good anymore. The same thing is going on with TV, you used to just put some rabbitt ears on and everything worked fine and then they started turning the power down so people had to buy cable, and then they slowed that down so people had to buy satellite and I swear I also see there is some new thing out and I am going to have to update my TV service again. Both the internet and receiving TV used to be free. So excuse my CONSPIRACY theory that answers both questions.

I have the same problem on TCS, generally it works fast as usual, but every 10 or so posts it will time out on me, I can tell when it is doing it though and copy the post I typed quickly and close my browser and open a new one and paste the post back in
