Is it just me?
Over the last few days I have posted several replies to threads and
have been told they have been sent, yet they never appear on the
board.
Why?

You plonked yourself?
I'm having the opposite problem, when I attempt to send it refuses
saying I am not authorised. Of course if it happens with this one you
will not know that will you?

There's something strange indeed Dave - not sure if Broadback and
Martin you're on google groups - but there's a huge delays. My posts
says they don't go. I delete them for fear of being shown twice, and
then they appear. Or, I see nothing posted since 11am and suddenly it
shows from 14.00 and back to 11am. Weird.

I've had this happen!

Why?

No idea, they have arrived in the newsgroup, but I didn't get to see them.

UseNet is not a perfectly reliable medium; posts get lost once in a
while. (It's happened to me on occasion, and on other occasions the post
has got out to the world, but not come back to me.) Posting via Google
Groups, judging by comments elsewhere, is not the most reliable of
methods. (Google tells you that they have been sent when they go into a
queue on Google's servers, and there's several opportunities for them to
be lost before they appear in my newsfeed.)

Advice sometimes given is to cut and paste your posts into a text file
(or compose them there in the first place) until you have confirmation
that the posts have gone through.

Dave,

I was using Teranews and many were not delivered last week. All seems well
now.

It's also subject to delays. This is because posts wander from server to
server. For example, your post reached me via this "path"

news.itconsult.net!usenet.net.nz!newsfeeds.ihug.co .nz!ihug.co.nz!newsfee
d.media.kyoto-u.ac.jp!newsfeed.vmunix.org!peer-uk.news.demon.net!kibo.ne
ws.demon.net!news.demon.co.uk!demon!meden.demon.co .uk

So from one UK person to another, it went via New Zealand, Japan, and
Germany!
