I just got this post? I have no idea why I'm not getting all of the posts?

How do you look at new posts - do you view each forum to look for the icons showing new posts, or just click on the 'recent posts' link at the bottom?

I have a New Participated icon at the top of the page, which I use, but I also go to each part of the forum, and check those, just in case. I haven't been getting a lot of posts for a few weeks, apparently. I didn't know that until they showed up as NEW in the forums, and I saw that some of them were from a few weeks ago.
I've also noticed a few times that you or Jo posted on the games after I did, responding to the same work I responded to, which tells me my post didn't show on your computers, until sometime after you posted?

That's odd. The only strange thing I've noticed is that occasionally something you'd posted a couple of days reappears as if it were a new post you'd just made (in addition to the original one being where it always was). I haven't seen it with anyone else, so sort of wondered if there was a glitch, but only managed to keep it in my head for about 2 seconds after I'd seen it!
Do you post from different devices (phone, laptop etc)? Just wondered if it were restricted to one device or just your account?

I always post from my laptop, as I can't seem to get Tapatalk to work on my phone. Each time I check in, I check down the page in each section, and check the posts that have a NEW listing. That's why I'm surprised when these NEW posts appear after I've check that whole page of threads, and there were no NEW posts. At best I miss weekends and a few sick days, so to have posts show up that posted days before the last time I was on Wheekers really surprised me.
I'm really wondering if it's something about our set up here. I posted several messages to Hubby, and he got one. I responded to his not respoinding to the other messages, and he never got them. Then they showed up about 20 minutes later?

That's odd isn't it? I don't have any insight about stuff like that I'm afraid!

It is wierd, and we had similar problems at the last place. Back in Weare, we got great service, so we know it's possible. Hubby is talking to the people at work, who are into that sort of thing, and hopefully he'll get some answers.
We bought a digital TV antenna, and he found there is so much interference in the house, he could only get a decent number of channels on the TV in his room, at the very end of the house. Obviously, we want to be able to get the channels on the TV in the living room, so we're going to try an outdoor mounted antenna, which is what our daughter has.
We had the same problem with the wifi on the weather station, and had to move that to the railing by the front door. We can't leave it there, though, as that's the hottest place in our yard, so this summer would constantly register oven-like temps that aren't real. We're planning to get a hardwired weather station, so we can put it where it needs to go, and still be able to get it to connect to the inside display.
We think this house has metal studs, which are blocking the transmissions, so that might be why we had to hardwire my computer to the wifi to get it to work. Don't know, but it makes sense.

Just an update for anyone who is in the Facebook group - we've decided to close it at the end of the month. It's never been busy anyway and hasn't been too successful in helping lapsed members to stay in touch, so we've decided to just stick to the forum - one less place to dust!

It was a good try.

I kept debating on whether or not I should join- I guess this pretty much settles the matter.

It wasn't very active, but it did provide a way of connecting, to members who have gotten really busy, and are doing other things. It was nice to hear from them periodically, and I hope they will stop in from time to time, and give us updates.
