Ugh, this sucks...

Oh I must be having a bad day.
I spent over an hour typing up a resource submission. I thought I did very well too. To my dismay, after hitting submit, it comes back and says "I don't have permission to post this type of resource."

What? Whats this you say? I did nothing different from any of my other resource submissions.

Alas, I lost everything I wrote :(

In any event, after spending an hour of typing up this resource I've come to conclude that the submission page sucks. It really does. The main content area text field is way too small to make editing and changes easily. I wish GG would revamp their Resource Submission page to be easier on the person submitting the resource.

Sigh, back to the beginning I go.

Yeah, Ive had that.. better to type it up with an ascii editor then cut and paste when youre done.

It's so frustrating spending a lot of time on something and then having it vanish as if you didn't put any effort into it at all.

Next time I will use a text editor and copy and paste it in. Sigh, why do I always end up learning lessons the hard way..

The harder the lesson, the less like you'll forget it.

Yes, I've lost a resource in the same way (not same bug though) and I have too learned that when I plan on writing something I type it in Word or notepad first.
