A lot of it is probably AOL...sorry to say that, but somehow problems occur with AOL and bulletin boards.

Hope it helped somewhat.

: However thank you for your kind help. It's nice to hear from you!

And YOU, Miss! ;o)

: Excuse me, but I'm not sure what you mean by RELOAD button. Is it when you backtract the previous page????

No, there is a button at the top of your browser, probably near the Home, Edit, etc, buttons that should say either Reload or Refresh. Most browsers have something like that. When you surf to a site regularly, your browser might not load the page anew each time. It might pull it directly from a "cache" file (on your computer) without the latest data or updates. So it helps to hit "refresh" or "reload" once in awhile, on any site. On a bulletin board, when you go back to the board (after posting) via the Back button on the browser, you will see the board just as it was when you first arrived on it that time. By hitting the Reload/Refresh options, it will load up anew with any new posts. I hope I'm explaining this so it makes sense. And I'm putting it here on the board, rather than just emailing to you directly, because maybe it will help someone else who is having trouble posting.

This might not always be the solution, but it may help some of the time! Good luck!
