I find that my posts usually take hours to appear.

I think someone is working on writing some working forum software for this among many other problems;-)

hi,
I have the same problem when I tried posting a response in

http://www.jboss.org/modules/bb/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=forums/ my name but not my response. And another forum I posted my response but the "replies " column and "last post" column doesn't update.

http://www.jboss.org/modules/bb/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=forums/

Just to add my 2 cents - I've seen a few posts where it says that there are replies, but no replies are listed -

e.g. When I view the following post, I currently only see the original message from user gfzhang, not the reply from user gregwilkins.

It seems the cache of the forums is very weird inside 'that piece of software' we use. I post it doesn't appear (sometimes) and then it appears (cache refresh it seems).

We are going to rewrite these forums in EJB2.0 pretty soon, for the time being the forums work OK if not perfect.
