I wonder how many posts were typed up only to be eaten. I finally got to where I'd copy everything I typed so I after about the 5th time of pasting it, it might post. LOL

 

^ Same here, there were a few posts that I was never able to get out that I had to save as PMs, well then those got erased before I could ever copy them again...

 

hmm well at lesat u could post...i would stare at the damn thing for hours tryin to figure it out

 

I got to the point where I was typing my replies onto a microsoft word document, then copy and paste. During the worst of the crash, I was averaging about a 10% success rate posting. Posts longer than two sentences never worked. 0% success. Trying to moderate the site last summer was like trying to start an old Chrysler.

I did the same. And usually the non-posting got worse for me.



like trying to start an old Chrysler

How old? lol

 

When I was younger, I remember every Chrysler I knew of from the late 60`s to the early 80`s were a pain in the a$$ to start. Especially in cold weather. [sm=headbang.gif][sm=forgetit.gif]

 

One year, about 1976 or maybe '77 it was real cold one january morning. The neighbor out backowned a Buick, a Mopar, and a Chevy. He worked for the Dept of Transportation for the state of Ohio and he couldn't get to work.

Both of my '57s (I only owned 2 back then) started with little trouble.

This neighbor paid me $20 to drive him to work. About 5 miles. Some of the easiest money I ever made.

The only mopar I ever owned that gave me trouble trying to start it was the '83 2.2 Charger I used to own. But it was seriously abused when I bought it. I would have to pull the spark plugs, pour oil down the cylinders cause they would get flushed out, then replace the plugs and try to get it started. Some times it was easier then other times.
