OK - I'm trying this again for (I think) the 3rd time.
I just realized that having been away from the forum for a while you might not be aware that we've switched over to a new system. After making a new post, our old system used to automatically return you to the topic you were posting in, but this new system doesn't. Members need to go into their profiles (by clicking on the profile button
in the menus at the tops and bottoms of all the forum's pages), click on the "Look and Layout Preferences" link under the "Modify Profile" heading, check the box to the left of "Return to topics after posting by default," and then scroll down the page to click the "Change profile" button. After all that, you should be able to see your posts right after you make them.
