I typed conversation for one charrie #1, it came up in a different charries conversation!!! how did that happen? I know I was in Charrie #1, typed an *aloud* message and sent it, it did not appear so I did it again and it did. Why and how did the first one go to another charrie, That ones hard to RP out of!!

Maybe you used your back button or something.

a possiblility:

the url for every one of your character pages is the same, but the cantr server decides what character page actually shows up based on which button you press.
sometimes (usually it happens if you use the back button to get back to the players page) when you've just come back from a character page and you click on another character, your web browser will see that it's the same url and try to save itself some work by loading the same page it loaded last time. this is of course the wrong character page. so now what you see on your web browser is a different page from what the cantr server believes you're viewing. if you say something in the speech box, the cantr server will proceed to say that with the character it believes you're viewing (the one you clicked, not the one you're actually viewing), because the action of speaking has nothing character specific about it.
to prevent this, if you ever get a different character page than the one you clicked on, you should go back and try again.

does this sound like what happened?

When I use the back button I often get the wrong images on the location page. I also from time to time get the wrong character page. Reloading usually fixes it.

The conversation on the page was for the Charrie #1 that is where I typed my conv. I hit enter and waited, it sent my text and I was still on same page, but no text. I understand what you are saying tho...makes sense. :oops: :lol: Please forgive my outburst if you seen it where it didn't belong!!! hehehe :lol:

That has happened to me once, and I think it resulted in posting English stuff with a Swedish character, or the other way around. Now you cannot rp out of that one, you just gotta ask people to ignore the last line. The back button is pure evil!

It can also be this,

When I am talking with one charrie and it takes a while to load what I say I click to go to the character page and click on a new charrie. While doing what I have to do with this charrie the other page will finish loading what I typed earlier and automatically send me back to that charrie and if I wouldn't notice I would think I was still on the other charrie. So that's something to becareful with. I have said something by accident because of this as well.
