Okay so I'm new....  I get it...

...but I've attempted to post a topic here.

First try :  You just posted less than 360 seconds ago - please try later.  (I didn't)

Waited 10 minutes and posted again:  You've already posted this topic.  (...but its not visible anywhere!)

Finally posted it.  Saw it in the forum.  10 minutes later?  GONE.

WTH?
