Is there something wrong with this site or it just me ??????????? Could somebody explain to me in what order posts are listed, because Iam buggered if I can work it out. I also posted a few lines two days ago and it never showed up and I am wondering if others could point me in the right direction Thanks Graham |

there are two steps to posting the first is a preview the second is to post, In any event your post did go through |

Roger is right. Generally what happens when someone says that their post never appears is that they "preview" but never actually "post the message". There will be a button that says "Post this Message" that you will see after you preview, that is the one you need to click on to post. There is a category at the bottom of this list on the topics page for testing. You might try some test messages there. There is no waiting period for messages to post. If you do it correctly they should post instantly. Thanks. |

Thanks Andrew & Roger, Yes I did work it out, but only after I pressed the last button on the post above. The thought came to me that I did'nt remember doing that on the on the missing post. But what about the order of posting, I thought it usual that they were in date order but that seems to have changed. Can you help on this one. Its a bit hard to tell whats recent and whats old without checking down the page at all posts.I thought I may have changed it by accident as you can on Email but have checked and can find nothing that I have done to change the order. Sometimes I think I was born in the horse and cart era. Thanks Graham |
