How do I post threads?

This is really getting annoying. Every time I heavily annotate a game with the hopes of giving the class e and class d players something interesting to read, my post just deletes itself when I click submit. I'm really tempted to jsut stop posting. Why even try.

 

I get to the point where my game is done and is in the body of the post. There are three buttons at the bottom of the body. One says "cancel", one says "save and preview", and the other says "submit new forum topic".

 

I click the third one since I'm done making my post and don't need to preview it. All that happens is it gets deleted and I'm taken to a new blank thread to fill in. Let's see if this one gets deleted too, or if it only deletes posts when it knows I put lots of effort in.

Yep. This time I clicked the third button and it posted. I guess it only does not work if I put a game it in.

Rapidly, incessantly, without thinking, in a manner that perplexes the audience, all the same, but somehow different, trollishly, but not flaunting it, perhaps brilliantly, perhaps like a retard, no, both, like Apple products, no, not quite, it's almost indescribable, like you are more than one being conspiring, like you're completely braindead, majestically, groaningly, the ultimate, no, pitiful; the Kramer. Still not quite.

Seriously though, I don't know what the problem is, but seeing as how it's deterring the manufacture of your threads, I won't dare tell you to contact help and support.

I believe the problem is that the post 'times out' after about an hour if you don't save it. My suggestion is to write down the annotations for the moves before you post them here. That way, when you make the game, you can just copy those annotations into the game instead of thinking about the annotations as you input the moves. This should alleviate the 'time out' issue. Remember to keep it under one hour.

That makes sense. The games were 48+ moves, and I was giving each move by each side about 4 lines of annotations. I inserted a few shorter games in another thread, with few anotations, and my choice of buttons was different at the end. No problems posting then. It is sad though that those annotated games went to waste, though it's not like I'm a master analyzer.

The problem happens even if I spend only 10 minutes annotating. But I found the solution: I just click the middle button, "save and preview". I don't need to preview it, but that saves it, and I get to submit it after that. So here come many more games with analysis.
