Possible posting hiccup

[Dannyalcatraz]

I posted- or attempted to post- an answer in this thread:

http://www.enworld.org/forum/media-...2-tell-me-about-midwest-jobs-housing-etc.html

Speaking as a native Louisianan and Army Brat, you might want to give Texas a good, hard look. I've lived here for most of my life, in San Antonio, Austin and the Dallas/FW Metroplex.

1) The economy here is pretty good, relative to the rest of the nation.

2) We don't have a state income tax, and, if it matters, this is a community property state.

3) 3 of the top 10 biggest cities in the USA are here: Dallas, Houston and San Antonio. Each has its own charms. Houston has a bit of the Louisiana flavor. Austin is a liberal oasis in a conservative state. Dallas is the most "Eastern" city in Texas...something neighboring Fort Worth makes a great deal of fun of.

Since you're in IT, you should know that the Dallas/FW Metroplex is among the most wired areas in the nation- lots of tech companies and US or International HQs for a lot of businesses across all industries, computer game companies, pro-level sports teams in every league in the USA and so forth call the Metroplex home.

4) For grad schools, consider Texas has SMU, Texas A&M, UT Austin, Univeristy of Dallas, Baylor, and UT Arlington among a wide variety of other schools, covering all kinds of graduate and undergraduate programs. UD has the #2 Sports MBA program in the nation. UT Arlington is a robotics center. SMU is in the process of building up their "Guild Hall" computer gaming program. UT Austin has Law, of course.

It seemed not to want to post (I just had this "Loading" message), and then I wound up having a double-post. When I tried to edit the double, it didn't want to post the correction. Then I checked again, and the correction had posted.

Puzzled, I went back to the forum itself.

When I look at the forum in which the thread exists, I see that there is a checkmark denoting my participating in the thread, but it lists ssampler as the last poster, with only 3 posts in the thread. My post was aaaaaaaafter that post. When I examine the thread itself, I can see my own posts.

I'm just not clear as to whether my post is actually there in the thread and viewable by the intended audience, or if my post is in some kind of electronic limbo.

I had something similar to that happen to me last night. I was posting in some thread and it was taking an extremely long time, so I loaded up a new tab and started browsing EN World on that tab. After some time I noticed that the original tab was STILL in the process of posting, showing the page where I hit "Submit Reply". I hit the stop button and then "Preview Post", which came up pretty quickly, and I noticed in the "Topic Review" section at the bottom that my first attempt at posting it had apparently succeeded, though it looks like the server never informed my browser of this. I just closed that tab after I confirmed my post had been made.

I'm using Firefox 3.6.3.
