Yeah, Joe, I've found it to be a fairly chronic problem—within the last few months and seemingly on the increase, in fact.

I type up a message, preview it so I can see what it looks like, make sure any HTML codes I've used (italics, underlines, etc.) are correct, check for typos and such and make any corrections (often missing a few even then), and then hit "Submit Message." I almost always pull up the thread again to make sure that the message is actually there, and lo! frequently lately, it's not!

If the message is going to be of any length at all (over a sentence or two), I type it out in Microsoft Word, then cut-and-paste it into the message box, then go through the routine above to make sure I haven't missed anything. Fairly often, I have to go back to my Word document and do it again, because the message didn't take. Sometimes even a couple of times on the same message.

What's happening?
