How come my message is different from the one I tried to post?

The forum software formats your message in a way to make it easier for others to read. For example, ALL CAPS posts are converted to lower case, the first letter of the first word in a sentence will be capitalized, excess spaces or punctuation marks will be removed, etc. Messages that are easier to read and understand are more likely to be answered.

I know my message has been responded to but when I try to load the page the new replies do not show up.

Your browser is not checking for newer versions of pages stored in your temporary internet file cache. In effect, instead of downloading the file from this site, your browser is loading an older copy of the page from your computer. ISP's like to set your browser this way because it saves them bandwidth.

To remedy this problem in Internet Explorer, click on Tools (at the top of the browser) and then Internet Options. In the section entitled "Temporary Internet Files", click on Settings. Check the setting that reads "Every visit to the page".

I tried to post a link and it won't show up in my post.

Some offsite links are prohibited from being posted on this site for administrative or security reasons.

My thread says Closed Thread and won't let me reply.
