along with no emails in the last 10 days or so, some of my posts have not been sticking to the thread. Must've rubbed the tacky stuff off the back, like a post it that has been moved too many times.
I see them after the site returns me to the forum - but after later on same day or later on, Poof, they're gone.
Harumph.

I've had similar problems- have only received one email in the time I have been here (and that was only imediately after 'expiring my cookies' as suggested in another thread).
I have noticed on 3 or 4 occasions that my posts never make it to the thread.

I really have nothing helpful to say except not to worry- your not crazy!

When the emails stop arriving, it's a sign that the servers need rebooting. I would suspect it's the same problem for the posts disappearing. I have contacted Robert....

I just wish the server admins would reboot the friggin things every week!

been happening here too... I have a feeling it happens when you finishe writing the message and close the window while it's still saying "You will be returned to the forum shortly" instead of waiting for the forum to be redisplayed.

Well that's my theory and I'm running with it till proven wrong...

You could have a point there Matt. I never have this issue and I always let the site software return me after posting.

Here's another thought. I also don't use the back button after posting. I use the Index button at the bottom to return to the main part of that forum (or the Forums Home one, depending on where I want to get to...)
