Gil and Margaret, The first time I posted to a BOL thread I couldn't see any evidence that I had posted either. It seems to be that many browsers let us go back to the main level by showing us what was already in their memory. Therefore what was recently added doesn't appear. If you can't find a refresh button on your browser, you can always leave the forum and then re-enter it. Your new message will then be visible to you. Hope this helps the "non-appearing new posting" mystery. Jim
