I'm a newbie here, so I'm sure it's my inexperience!
I wrote a new thread, then looked at possibly adding some Smilies. When I went back to post the thread, it had gone into
ether-limbo! Where'd it go? What'd I do?

 

I see a thread in the new member area by you, is that the one?

I have noticed too, that I will hit the OK button and it just sits there. I end up copying what I wrote, clos eit out and start over. I thought this was because of the firewall at my work doing some wierdness because I haven't had that happen to me at home before.

 

No, I had the thread in the newbie area, and then I tried to post one in the Explorer forum, asking a tech question. The really sad part is, it was quite a long (by some standards) post. When it disappeared, I wondered if I'd be able to re-state it as well as I had.
I'll try again later- time is fleeting right now.
