Eaten but not passed
-
After typing out a comment and hitting the button, the comment in a Q&A question gets eaten and disappears from the screen. On some days, the hamsters are too busy drinking fine wine and having sex to bother entering user content, so they instead send back a message claiming to have tried to add the comment a few times, but being unable to since the servers are a little overworked. Okay, fine. Let me keep the comment and I'll try again soon. Huh? You've eaten the comment and done nothing with it? Tsk, Tsk, Tsk - S.O would *never* do that. :thumbsdown:

Faced similar in the past, but: Usually, after some minutes/hours the comment came up ;) Check you rep Point history, sometimes you will find the comment there, even it is not visible at the place you posted it...
It does not solve my Problem, but it answers my question

Did this happen around the time you made this report? Do you recall the question / answer to which you were commenting? I'd like to dig in a little and see if I can find out what happened. Could be behind the sofa or possibly dropped as we fumbled for the keys last night.

Yeah mate, that's my recollection. Sure do. I was trying to tell this fella about the HTMLElement's "remove()" method and how it's a better choice than asking the element's parent to remove it. It was here: https://www.codeproject.com/Questions/1273319/How-to-lay-a-new-canvas-over-an-existed-canvas-and?cmt=1008421#cmt1008421 and was in response to the comment posted at "3-Jan-19 21:57pm" Yeah, I'd have a look under the sofa cushions. However, bitter experience has taught me that on occasions, under the fridge is more likely to be successful. Naturally, I imagine sometimes the hamsters just forget. Would now be a bad time to say we're expecting 31°C in Melbourne today? ;P

Yeah, please tell me more about the weather back home. We're expecting -22C windchill here in a few hours so the more you can talk about warm breezes and endless sunshine 15,000km away the more relaxed I feel. No, really. As to the comment you posted: I checked under the sofa, under the fridge, in the sock drawer and even checked the recycling bin. Nothin. The odd thing is we had no database errors corresponding to the comment system at that time (in fact none in the last 24 hours). We did, however, have redis errors which shouldn't have mattered but may have contributed. We are in the process of planning a replacement for our Redis client and will actually be switching to the one StackOverflow wrote. God bless their little cotton socks. As to losing data: yeah, I know. It does happen occasionally and clearly we need to do a better job when our current retry systems also fail.

Thanks Chris, I really appreciate the fact that you're prepared to look around for a missing post on a site that I don't pay $$ to use. Well, to be honest - the day is absolutely gorgeous. Birds are out, clouds are virtually non-existent, sky's as blue and perfect as a poster. Put in 5 hours from 5am to 10am - I'll work out when I feel like doing the other 3.... later! For what it's worth, we're reported to be in for an absolute stinker this year. Last Chrissy never got all that hot, but this year we've got global climate patterns coming round to give us a touch-up. I've put sunscreen on for the last 7 days and been burnt anyway - I don't miss that part of summer. Here 'go - took these a few minutes ago for yer, enjoy!
