Beth- Not necessarily. It's a real crapshoot and you have to refresh the page over and over to see whether the changes were made or not--sometimes they were and other times not. You can't just *assume* that they were because it is about a 50/50 chance that they were not. Joan ------------ Dan, I think you'll find that even though you get error messages in the two examples above, your edit did "take" and your message "posted." Sometimes it takes a few minutes for that fact to be reflected on the board. Receiving those error messages has been the cause of many, many, many duplicate posts on the boards as people, assuming the first try didn't work, post again and again and again . . . .

Guess I've been lucky then.<smile> After the experience of trying to post a message three times, getting an error message each time, then seeing it posted three times on the board (not one I admin), I've only posted or tried to send through an edit once and in due time each has shown up on the board involved. Maybe I should go get a lottery ticket! Beth On Dec 30, 2007 2:31 PM, <[email protected]> wrote: > Beth- > > Not necessarily.
