Are my posts showing?

I've noticed the last few times I've been in here that my posts are showing but I never get any responses from them. I usually got a few responses when I first started here. I've also noticed that when I'm the most recent poster in a thread that my name, date and time doesn't show up on the main page. Only dashes where my info should be. I've checked and I haven't been banned (I wouldn't know a reason why I would be). Is there any type of technical error that could be causing this?

I see your thread.

Can you take a screen snapshot of this and attach it here?

It is possible that forum summaries aren't updated simultaneously with the last post. It is a low priority operation and may be delayed depending on server loads. In general, I don't think the delay is more that a few minutes.

All I could do was copy the wording but none of the links on your reply. Thanks for trying at least I know my posts are coming through. It just seemed a little strange to me that my name and the date didn't appear at all as the last poster in one thread. It still has nothing but dashes in it.

The links are in my signature and they are excluded from the QUOTE process. That is true of everyone's signature and for everyone that tries to quote a post with a signature.

As to the "last poster" problem, I would need a snapshot of what you are seeing (or a link to the page that displays the problem) before I can investigate.

To take a snapshot of the page, hit the PRINT SCREEN button on your keyboard, then choose PASTE in a graphics program such as Paint or MacPaint. Save the image, then attach it to a post here or host it online and link to it here.
