I replied to a post yesterday under Rainbows, it showed up. But this morning it is not there.

The site was moved to another server because the old one was playing silly games. There might be a couple of threads that were lost. We apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Hopefully, this was a one time occurrence.

To explain: we were having connectivity problems that began in November and became serious in the last two weeks: at random times it was not possible to reach the forum at all, sometimes for as long as 30 minutes. The cause of this is not exactly clear, seems to be a combination of a bad server with delays in the Nippon TT part of the internet.
After several days of discussions and trying to figure out what is really happening , ISP moved the site to another, faster server.

The hope is that the connectivity issue is now resolved; I'm sorry for the lost post (posts?), but this should not happen again.

Thanks, guys, for the info. Glad to see it's been moved to a better, faster server. I'll try a re-post.
