My post never appeared? Why?
I just sent a post to the chess related forum. It never appeared.

The only thing I saw for posting was at the bottom of the page (like this)

I only hit the button on the left. Later I looked and saw it was divided in two: preview and post. I made no
selection just hit the button.

Where is my post?

It previews first, then you need to confirm again to post. Close, you were halfway there!

Yes,click "preview' first after you type your message,then click "post".That should do it.
Here's something you should also be careful of and has cost me dearly in an attempted post....
Right BEFORE you click on "preview" and "post",make SURE your internet has NOT been disconnected as will periodically occur from time to time with your server.I have DSL from Verizon,so if I see a red light on my box,then this means i've been temporarily disconnected from the internet.With me,I can't automatically tell from just looking at the screen,the GK page seems unaffected to me!I forgot to look a few times over the months when I posted a long forum message,and when I clicked on preview and/or post,I LOST my entire message I took 15 minutes to write,since my internet had disconnected!Trying to click the backpage did not work,I only got the verizon disconnect page,so I lost all that work!So now,if I see the red light come on right before I click preview/post....I just wait a few minutes till the green light comes on again,then I click!

@ easy19...
That was an interesting idea - I decided to try it and got this;

"Unable to ignore yourself!"

But what if I want to ignore myself? If I have to listen to myself tell me how Care Bears may have driven Bobby Fischer crazy one more time...

Thanks guys. I see what I did now. I'll be sure I hit the right button.
