AskWoody PlusBut before valid submission it hasn’t been received by the system for moderation, so nothing to either discard or retain yet at the WordPress/bbPress server. Even if there was, how could it be definitively matched with a member and retained until an appropriate signed-in post is somehow identified?
Here’s a good project for AI!!

AskWoody PlusBefore you Submit:
It seems to me that one must always do this before submitting, because you don’t ever know that you’ve been logged off (in the midst of composing a message) until AFTER you submit.

AskWoody PlusGenerally, we only delete duplicates (unless a rule is broken).
Maybe I didn’t frame my question well. Let me start again.
I’ve found myself in this situation.
1. I am logged in.
2. I start to compose a message.
3. I finish the message and press submit.
4. I find in front of me the screen that Geekdom posts at #2545193, which indicates that, even though I started composing the message while I was logged in, I’m not logged at the point of submission.
5. If I log in now, I lose the message that I have typed into the message box and have to start all over again.Is there some way for the system to keep the message (instead of discarding it) and to transfer it to the logged-in message box?

AskWoody PlusWhy does the now-deleted guest post have to be deleted? Couldn’t it be kept so that it could be used in the new now-logged in post?
The logged-in post was already done within two minutes:
My question was a general one, not specific to a particular circumstance.

Why does the now-deleted guest post have to be deleted? Couldn’t it be kept so that it could be used in the new now-logged in post?
There have been many times that I have been logged off in the middle of composing a message. (In other words, I am logged in at the time I navigate to the topic and start composing a post in the message box, but by the time I post, I discovered that I am logged out. So, my message is lost and I have to start over.
This has happened to me so many times that I now compose my message in Word first and then paste it to the message box.

e-s-s-a-y (unhyphenated) = pig-Latin of sorts, maybe?

AskWoody PlusI’ve been waiting for someone else to try posting a message with the same “e-word” (5 characters long) to see if the same error message appears. Thanks for confirming it.
What weird behavior! Is this the only commonly-used, non-offensive word that the editing algorithm puts the skids on?? It’s not as if it’s one of those triggering four-letter words! 🙂
In most cases, you can get around the fence by using a synonym, but if the word appears in a link, then you’re out of luck. See #2544411.
I sent a message to Customer Support (Susan) about it a couple of days ago. She said she thought it was a filter that was over-reacting.

AskWoody PlusThe error message says either “cannot be edited” or “cannot be created”. This one here says “edited.” See #2544404 where the error message says “created”.

AskWoody Pluse-s-s-a-y? I say!
You’re a manager and probably have more privileges than I do.
I have to even add the hyphens in the quote above to get the post to submit!!
This seems like the prohibition that I’ve read about elsewhere. Sometimes Alex5723 would use it and he would run into trouble — in a topic heading, I think it was. But, I don’t remember the prohibition.

AskWoody PlusThis is what it looks like when I type just the “e-word” with no hyphens.
If I type it with hyphens, then it posts (you can actually see the post).
You can’t actually see the post if I type it without hyphens, because it won’t post!! But, you can see it in the image of the message box and the error message that I get, when I try to post.
