I'm not sure my post actually got posted?

I'm sure I messed up but not sure what I did or didn't do right.

My post was to the discussion area of a tutorial on how to enable WindowsMail in Windows 7.

I clicked on the quote button of a post on pg.112, then the reply window opened where I proceeded to write. I even previewed it to make sure of spelling,etc., then clicked the 'Post Button'. Then went on reading lots of different areas of this board, then back to the discussion area & can't find mine. Even just before I started to type this,I checked & it's still not. Is there a certain length of time before a post shows up? I posted at approximately 12:30pm today, it's now 4:54pm.

Thank you.

No. Posts are virtually instantaneous.

Thank you, :) how & where would I do a PM? Here or in the tutorial discussion?
I'm kinda desperate to get my problem solved.

Thanks to all but am I ever embarrassed! I've done too much posting today & had them mixed up. My post about Restore Point was the 12:30 one but that's not the missing post. I have a feeling that I got twitterpated & forgot to actually click the 'Post' button! Darn it, now I gotta re-do the whole thing over there & like I said, I'm kinda desperate.
If I really knew how, I'd give all of you a point or whatever it is we're supposed to do. Sorry, I just skimmed the rules,etc. My bad . You all gave me good advice.

Don't worry about it.

The important thing is that you got the advice you needed.
