Multiple times now I have written private messages only to have them disappear when I hit send. Does anyone else have this problem? I recently lost a lengthy message, rewrote it and tried to copy it before sending it in case it disappeared again, and yep, you guessed it, it disappeared after I highlighted it and right clicked to get my copy menu. Maybe wine would help? At this point it can't hurt.
Thought...Is there a character limit on messages? It only seems to happen when I have a lot to say.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.You have to keep messages shorter. I learned to send my message broken up in two or three posts and have never lost a message again. When I first joined this happened to me whether I was on my phone or computer.

After thinking about it, I suspected that was the case as it only seemed to happen on longer messages (which made it significantly more frustrating lol) though I couldn't find any mention of character/ word limits within the site. Thanks for the insight!
It's not only this site. I strongly recommend typing in a Word Doc on OneDrive or a draft in a Gmail email because it auto saves. I type here because my phone has yet to fail to let me select all and copy, which I almost always do before posting or sending.

The messenger tool on this site leaves much to be desired. Franklly, I would prefer that it function more like an actual email, OR a true messenger tool. I'm sure your messages still "live" in the system. Contact @Admin directly and provide as much specific detail as you can about what happened. Hope this helps.

I have had that happen a lot of times in the past and also sent messages that never got to the other member. And this has been verified by the other members later on.

Not that I'm glad it has happened to you, too, but at least I no longer feel like I'm losing my mind. Thank you!
@Amzungu It's still entirely possible that I'm losing my mind, can't speak for you about yours, but it's clear that neither of us were imagining the problem with messaging on Agnostic.
. . . with a little accompaniment -- scrape it
