is it me or is the timing of when threads are posted up the creek?

Yes it's been like this for ages now. Posts disappear and then reappear out of nowhere!

crazy

If I click on the thread, above post doesn't show, if I click on Sarana's mum's name on the right it appears!

yes I've found that too.

Ive only recently started using the forum and its been largely good fun... I have found that clicking on threads doesnt show the latest contributions, but if you click on the contributors name on he main page, then it does... not great... wish they would sort it out, I can make myslef look a muppet without any help from them!!!
