Yes, for some reason, GardenWeb does not let you reply to your own post unless you change the subject title, as citosa stated. I usually just make a tiny change like adding or removing a period. Very annoying, but pretty easy to get around.

I was able to search it out and then I added a response to it, which normally brings it to the first page, but it was not there. I found it again and did the same thing and nothing...bummer

You need to change the subject line if you're posting twice in a row (i.e., before the pointer moves on). This is in the programming to prevent accidental double posts. When you get the MESSAGE REJECTED message, use the back arrow on your browser to go back to what you've typed. Change the subject line. You can just add a blank space, or change the whole message, or whatever you want, just so it isn't exactly the same as before. IMPORTANT: Click on Preview Message, so that your change is accepted. Then click on Submit Message and you should be fine.

I have tried to respond to several posts and my comments are not showing up. I am trying to see if this goes through, if so, why can I all of a sudden not post a comment, but can start a new thread?
