i haven't been able to post a topic to this board in a week.

does anyone have any suggestions?

Switching browsers?  I would try that.  Probably would switch to google chrome and see if it would work.  I haven't had any issues with Safari.

This one came through just fine.

Google has clearly been messing with things again - for example, it started flagging many things as spam on gmail this past week.  So - even though they were being mailed, they ended up in the spam folder for me (this is not the same as google groups flagging things as spam which I have to put through manuall - that is a separate, but I suspect related issue).  You might check there first.

Hunh - I will say, now that I can post again, that I had trouble posting for a YEAR...(did you miss me? I was not much of a poster, but since I started in 2008 or so, i liked to chime in from time to time).  Jim tried to help me, but it was unclear as to why there was a problem.  It turned out to be that as I had 3 google accounts and logged in from different IP addresses on a regular basis, google flagged all 3 accounts; however it was only with the RBW group that my posts stopped going through. I tried deleting the 2 less used accounts, and that didn't help.

With the switch to the new google interface, and cleaning up all cached info in my keychains (important) I was able to post again. I had to search for every hidden keychain / login reference to all google accounts, and delete them (it took about an hour of scouring my hidden / utility files)  Now I'll have to remember all those eloquent things, lost, lost to the google. 

I stopped being able to post right after I sold my Saluki to "Rob in Seattle" - it was suggested to me that the RBW / google interface was punishing me for deaccessioning (though there's another Riv in the house).

Perhaps the keychain / multiple google account info might be of use.

Ok, thanks
is there a spam filter on the RBW groups site?

No.  I was referring to the gmail (i.e. "receiver side") spam filters which seem to be overactive these past couple weeks - I ended up with several reasonably important emails in the spam folder.  All had come from established connections.

I'm thinking that the groups have a similar issue, with guidelines getting reset for no obvious reason.  One of the issues with a free hosting service I suppose.

Last week, there was a day when ~30 on-topic emails from established posters got flagged as possible spam.  Normally, the delays are only evident from moderated group members.

Hope that makes some sense.  I'll be away from computers this weekend.

Last week I had a google alert email end up in the spam folder in gmail!  That cracked me up.
