Hi, Little Hawk - did you click on the Little Hawk name in your post to see what took and what didn't? If you post, the thread should go to the top of the Forum Menu. If it doesn't, then maybe you goofed (or maybe Mudcat goofed, but I haven't noticed that).
I think it's best to be a bit methodical about posting - type the message, review it, submit, and then wait for the Forum Menu to load completely. Then double-check your message to make sure it "took."
If you're in too much of a hurry to double-check, maybe your message wasn't worth much in the first place.
