Can't speak for other news readers but if you are using Outlook Express as
your news reader, make sure you go to "View", then "Current View" and make
sure "Group Messages by Conversation" is not checked - if it is checked,
clicking on it will uncheck it. Also make sure "Show all messages" is
selected.

Your posts should appear. You might have to click on the "Sent" column
until you see the most current posts at the top of your screen in order to
view the most recently posted articles.

I think what happens is if someone else or you has the exact same subject
dated earlier in the newsgroup, your post will attach itself to that and you
must download all messages until you get to the point when the original
first posting of that subject first appeared (again, which may not have been
posted by you) in order to see your new post. I don't like that, but I
think that is what happens.

If I'm wrong, someone please explain it. Thanks.

The first tip will keep you from seeing threads.. you will just see a punch
of random posts in the order in which they were made.

Secondly, to keep your posts from disappearing in Outlook Express, go to
tools -> options -> maintenance (tab). Make sure that "Delete read message
bodies in newsgroups" and "delete news posts x days after d-load" is not
checked.

Regards,
Jeremy
