You are probably checking too soon. There seems to be a window in time after a post where if you check for it, you will never see your post. If you wait a few minutes after posting, then check you can see your new post, but its like the headers and the bodies of posts are held differently on the server and if you happen to check for new posts during the period between the header being saved and the body being saved, you don't see your own post. I discovered this through trial and error, so the above is based on my experience, not necessarily fact!

The funny thing is, that this has happened before, just a couple of posts have not appeared, but all the others have. Alan > > Derek >
