Hello Readers,

Something strange is happening on here. after I have posted something it promptly dissapears!, I can only get the original text up on screen if I post another after the first!. is this problem happening to anyone else?.
for example I have left a response in the thread entitled- alien life forms, do they exist?, my reply would be after post 16 but I can't see it, can anyone else or is it just me?.

Can anyone help?

Thanks.
