I know you removed the long post from your origional thread which is now on page 2. Did you go back and repost it?? I wouldnt think you would do that knowing it was now a double charge but its reappeared there but the forum server has been down two nights in a row and there seems to be several strange things occur afterwards, wrong dates, missing threads, etc. Therefore wondering if it is somehow related like turning back the clock on your computer to days prior? Trying to figure out if this is some kind of glitch that needs to be brought to the admins attention or if you went back and put it there?


To everyone else with a long history of medical issues and who wish to have them available for members without taking up space in signature line, posting repeatedly, and want to be able to direct folks who wish to know it without sounding like a broken record. I suggest making a blog page or something else and putting it all in there providing a link to it in your signature or profile. This saves you writing,HW space and money and is not a violation of the rules as long as your not advertising anything, plugging or selling anything and is a great way for others to read your bio.

As our member Dixie had nothing to do with y'alls midnight servers crashing do you think that you could remove her name from the thread banner. To me it looks accusatory and I think that Dixie is one of our more caring posters, she's probably not taking seeing her name in lights real well. I seriously doubt that she had anything to do with this foul up. . . . Q

Q we asked her to remove it and then it reappears on page 2 and we have no way of knowing if she put it back or whether it was a glitch in the server. Since she has not bothered to respond to the question I will not remove the post, once she does maybe it can be taken down.

Im not going to get into a battle with you over this since the question was for her. When a mod directly asks you to remove something and you dont we thenwill remove it for you. If we should have to do that and you put it back we alert Peter an your account could be temporarily locked or permenantly banned neither of which we want to happen here to her.

I explained my reasons for this post and am not required to do so and will not say anymore on the subject except directly to the OOP.

We all need to take a deep breath and be mindful of our words...This is all a huge "misunderstanding", or so it seems. I in no way would compromise HW or its members through forethought or malice.  I will attempt to address these issues, as NTS asked on Friday, 9/12.  It was said today that I had not "bothered" to answer.  A closer look would reveal that I have not posted ANYTHING since the time of the question asked of me on Friday.

Vickie, I will do whatever is necessary to correct my mistakes.  When I joined this site, I had no clue about the costs of lengthy posts.  I had made the original "too long" post, which went cyber-crazy when graphic words were understandably edited.  I had offered to delete it all, but Susie said the damage was done.  Last weekend I asked my husband to help me cut/paste/edit and post entire content.  I also explained in the prior post what I was trying to do and why.  I'm befuddled as to why this has exploded to the forefront a week later.  I did re-post because it was pointed out that my own editing of the content had indeed, removed the whole point...which is that endometriosis can and will thrive post-hysterectomy.  I never meant to sound like a "broken record" or to be repetitive.  There are 2 ladies currently posting who are basically in the same "boat" of pain as me, but are unable to get a diagnosis.  I only want to help them, and any others who are struggling with this disease.

If I could somehow use my 80's electric eraser that I used in design school, I would make this all go away.  I CAN'T DO THAT.  The best I can do is to perhaps donate to HW, now that I'm aware of the operational procedures of the site.  I will do that as soon as I can figure out how to do that without revealing my personal financial information to the proverbial cyber gods=)  My husband suggested purchasing a store cash/debit card.  Is that feasible?

I will also take heed to your suggestions of somehow compiling/combining my too-long posts into a "link".  I don't know how to do that, but my husband is a Geek Squad wannabe so he can help me.

PLEASE HEAR ME when I say I never meant to cause trouble to ANYBODY.  I acknowledge my mistakes and will make every effort to correct them.  Chronic pain, no matter the source, is a proverbial "broken record".  It's repetitive motion, if we are fortunate enough to have repetitive motion.  My only intention is to find a rhythm of treatment through PM, and share the dance with fellow members who suffer.

Deep breaths and happy thoughts. It's okay, y'all.

Dixie

I asked the question of you, not sure why anyone else felt compelled to answer for you. Here's the thing, you posted origional and were advised of how the forum is charged, you edited after I edited and cut it down which at that point as Susie said didn't matter it had already been typed and what was done was done, then you copied and pasted it over again and whether it's blank spaces,copied, whatever its still letters filling space and charges for the same thing have cost twice? We were just wondering why you would do that after it had been discussed. There had been some issues during the night with the server and some time questions so I wanted to make sure you actually did it and not the server.

Your support for the other women and how best to help them was addressed when we told you about the chat rooms I thought. Also I explained how to repeat your story without it costing HW via a blog or homepage link. We ask forum members to use links to something they wish to share versus copying and pasting because that still is a charge and you are not the first we have asked this of. Members use links now just as we did with the Huffpost article we wanted to get here to share.

We have not always been aware of the cost of the forum to our Admin and although we had an idea didn't realize he covered those costs out of pocket if donations didn't do it, also the reason for the addition of the ADs. He's not a wealthy man but a CPer with a family just as we are. He should not have to take money from his pocket if we can be mindful and help keep those costs to a minimum. We certainly want HW to be here for the next decade.
