I haven't experienced that, my posts mostly appear within a minute or two.

I have experienced this, and it is usually a filter issue too as you say.

The new forums cope with this brilliantly, especailly if you want the
almost
instant interactive chat you mention.  You can subscribe to a thread, or
even an entire forum and get email notificiation of new posts.

The forums are up and running and we have total control of them.  They are
running on www.laser.com 's new server so performance is excellent, and
with
Li's support the up-time is second to none.

We are probably caught a little by offering both a mailing list and forums,
but some people strogly prefer each one, and we try to keep everyone happy

Give the forums a try and see what you think.

Thanks
