More Spooky Stuff on OPP

Once again I am experiencing strange things here on OPP, I am beginning to feel like Red Buttons. Three times in the past week when I was composing a lengthy response to posts on this forum, my reply vanished during composition. I was annoyed at myself, I had a number of windows open to check some references and assumed that I had closed the wrong window. This morning, I was responding to the article on the new rocket engine and after a good bit of writing I was checking one last fact, not only did my response disappear, but the OPP forum was closed down.. I had to sign in again. I know for a fact that I touched nothing.

Some time ago I wrote about posts disappearing and found that many of you had the same experience. Is this another instance or am I alone in having my posts deleted while I am writing them?

From here on I intend to write my responses in Word, copy them and then post replies. Maybe the Opp gremlins will not have time to screw up my work.

No, your not alone, the reason for it I too am still unclear about.
I've noticed it mostly when posting from my phone, and has become the main reason for short my responses.
Could just be a glitch system.

It happens to me, I assume it is sensitivity of the keyboard, like those voting machines that have to be touched in exactly the right spot. It only started with windows 10.

I don't know, it seems to bump me right off the net, but I'm still connected, and some times it will even pop right back up on my phone as soon as I enter my search engine.

Some of that could be wifi going off and on too.

No, in my case this morning, all of the windows I had open in my browser, other than OPP were still there, undisturbed. It is either something related to OPP or some magic Gremlin embedded in my keyboard's software. My fingers are sufficiently arthritic that I hit many, many, incorrect keys and multiple keys. I am certain I did no such thing but who knows what kind of shortcuts I may have activated inadvertently.

Always a possibility.
