One more reason to have a copy of a post before clicking submit.  

Whether it's an issue with ActiveRain's server, a communication issue from your device to ActiveRain or something else, it's a tech issue above my knowledge base.

When that happens quickly copy your post & place it elsewhere until AR will accept the publish.

OH NO!

That didn't happen to me. Maybe it git fixed before I posted

I always save my post before publishing, just in case something happens.

Thanks, ARMS for the clarification.

Wayne, just one more reason to copy your post, just in case!

good info.  Yes, I thnk generally I always work with the assumption that technology wil fail.. better safe than sorry. 

above my paygrade

I had that happen last night - it posted, even with the 'warning!' I don't know why this happens but, at least it posts!! Check your 'stats' page to see if it posted. 

I just learned a lesson after reading your question and then reading the responses.  We should always have our post saved in another medium "just in case" there is a glitch on our side or the AR side.  Whew, glad this has not happened to me yet.  I've been warned! Wayne Martin  Wishing you a Happy St Patrick's Day!!! 🍀

I have noticed that but the post does get published...

Glitches happen, hit refresh, get a cup of coffee and the issue will likely be resolved.
