Missing Posts?

[Martin Gierke]

Trying to add a post today, and it seems they are showing up for a
moment, then disappearing. Is there something I'm doing wrong?

Thanks,

Marty

Seems a glitch on Google Groups is messing with my posts today. My Bombadil is on the road, and is everything I expected it to be = perfect. I ended up with Bullmoose bars and a B67 after trying Noodles and Albatross and a B17 Champion Flyer. Nothing wrong with those other combos, but this formula on this frameset is magic. Couple new movies in the set for your viewing pleasure. So many triangles!

Are you viewing the "new" format or the old?

New format. Seems to be working now. Thanks!

Hey Marty,

I'm having the same problem.  I'm posting in the new web format as well.  Not sure what I'm doing wrong.  

Beautiful Bombadil, by the way!  Love the color choices!

What I've noticed, is that in the digest email, there will be threads, that aren't showing up here on the forum.  For example, Clif had a post of items for sale, but when I clicked the link in the email to go that page on the forum, it wasn't there.  Another, Marty's post called "Bombadil Complete!"  is missing, but his called "Marty's Bombadil", is there...

I think in general, we're "benefitting" from the new system - there are some
reported server lags and thread issues cropping up in the google group
discussion boards. In short, there's not much I can do to change anything
in the short term, and in the long term, it will more than likely right
itself.

One thing I'm noticing is that google is flagging more posts as SPAM, which
causes them to be corralled in a slightly different way than regular posts -
I don't always get notified as quickly.

The back end controls for the spam have changed slightly as well - I don't
seem to be able to have as fine-toothed control, and instead, it appears to
learn from what gets passed through - subject, of course to system hiccups.

If it sounds like I'm complaining, I'm not. This is not a call for
suggestions. Just want to encourage people to:

1 - Go with the flow.
2 - If you are responding to FOR SALE posts - reply directly to the poster.
(The default is now and will remain "To the Group"). The most common thing
to get nicked by spam filters appears to be FS or WTB threads and replies -
particularly one-line responses.
3 - Make sure your browser is updated.
4 - Y'might also clear your cache.

Hope that helps a bit.
