"The U2U you are trying to save is empty"

What does this mean?

It means the message I just spent 20 minutes writing has DISAPPEARED! Can some propeller head change it so the system prompts you to write a 'message subject' without DELETING the message?

I have been in that situation many times before 🙁...

Need a message box to pop up if the text box for the title is Nil value.

MickH · 11 Jul 2006, 4:08 pm

It needs to have a title...

mackaymanx · 11 Jul 2006, 4:18 pm

Unfotunately not by me mate, can't say I've had this prob to date either... Try e-mailing one of the admins perhaps even ad a screen shot.

Hit 'send u2u' without putting words in the 'Subject' line and not only will The System NOT send the message you have just written, it will wipe your message for you... so you have to start again. Not fun if it's a long message and you are in a hurry!

easy way to fix the problem...................JUST PUT A BLOODY SUBJECT IN BEFORE YOU START YOUR 20MIN RAMBLE.............EASY...........................I've never had a problem:P

VWCOOL · 14 Jul 2006, 10:10 pm

Yeah well this is the only one of about six forums I'm on that
a) doesn't 'prompt' you to put in a Subject and
b) deletes your message if you forget

Cam · 15 Jul 2006, 3:15 am

As I said dude, U2U or email an admin (not a mod, we can't do anything in regards to this sort of stuff) - someone like Baja Wes would be the man to ask.

Just done it again...TWICE it's goddam frustrating

crewcabconnection · 31 Jul 2006, 10:40 pm

just highlight what you did BEFORE you submit and press copy. Takes a nano second...then if you forget to add the title, you can just paste it back in... or buy a mac and just press back.

VWCOOL · 1 Aug 2006, 8:36 am

Yeah, all easy in theory... I could write it down onto apeice of paper and lick a stamp, or cut and paste into a word doco, too... no good when your message disappears and you don't even realise it

I reckon this is why so many new members can't send U2Us and why so may people simply don't receive U2Us sent to them - people don't realise that the message in fact hasn't been sent...it's GOOONNE!

As I said, it's the only forum I'm a member of where the system works against you in this way
