Are their certain characters or something that cannot be posted to this group? I’ve tried posting and urgent question 3 times now. Each time everything appears to go OK but then the message never shows up? Thanks Tim ---

I’ve had the same problem several times. Everything seems fine, but my message never shows up. Usually from my mac, the same message posts fine from windows. …or maybe there’s just a long delay, and I’m going crazy! ---

Well…that worked fine, but the new post that I submitted about 10 minutes ago still isn’t up. ---

I don’t know why it is, but threaded display of this list in Thunderbird has a large proportion of threads broken into two pieces - often the message starting the thread is separated from the rest of the thread. Does anyone else have this problem, or know of a solution? regards Justin ---

I’ve found that sending directly from gmail seldom gets my post into this group. Nabble or RubyForum normally work. Steve ---

I never see new threads that I start. I am on Mac and I post through GMail. Very weird. If someone replies to the thread then it will show up in the inbox. Is it really that difficult to have a stable Rails forum? Why do we have to put up with Google groups Beta-forever misery? ---

I don’t use gmail (I just use SMTP to the list server), but it’s often been observed that gmail doesn’t show you your own posts to the list. I’ve just received a bunch of 120 or so messages, 4 from 20th November, 13 from 21st, 11 from 22nd, and so on. Justin
