New post in limbo

[Professor Honeyfuggler]

I wrote a new topic post on the Leather Forum to request suggestions for a knife sheath design. I attempted to add a photo of the knife, but it was too big, so I reduced the size of the photo to 132K, browsed to it, and tried again. Got the "Photo too big - must be under 150K" message.

Hmmmmmm.

Reduced the photo again to 72K and tried again. This time I got a message that says I already posted that topic. But I don't see it anywhere, not in the Forum, not in the list of posts I've made, not noplace.

I feel like I just shot a cartridge with no powder and now the slug is stuck in the barrel.

What do I do?

your right it's nowhere to be found, but we have that ever once in a while,  you'll sit and type a long post and it just goes,  but not to where you want it.   

seems like on my computer if I miss on a picture size more than once, it'll never take it, 

if I were you I'd try it again, now that you have everything ready to go.  99 times out of 100 it'll go,  I guess your just gettin yer one out of the way early.

This is one of the glitches with this software, if you attempt to upload an attachment to a post that is too big, it will interpret the post to be uploaded.

One way to work around this is to log off and log back in and try again.

If you still have problems with your picture, send it to me for resizing. You can make the post and I'll attach the picture for you.

I have that happen often as well. I usually will copy my text by highlighting my text and hitting the ctrl and C key. Then if it does go into limbo, I can just hit ctrl V and paste it right back on the next go around.
