Wow. I did not think there was any correlation whatever between whether your
post uses FTX or not and your post approval or posting setup changes. Either
posts work or they don't has always been my experience.

Can you elaborate on what you mean by "it won't accept" ?? are you getting the
return code 0 "your post was NOT accepted" message when you hit post, or is it
that you don't get a confirming email (or are you staying logged in to avoid
that?) or that when you reply to the confirming email it doesn't release the
post, or something else?

Thanks. Not sure that actually helped, but one can hope. I of course am merely a
user.

Lessee if I can remember...   I _had_ been staying logged in, and when I posted, I had to fill out name and e-mail, check the "I will give LUGNet my firstborn" box (or whatever it says).  Plain or FTX worked fine.  (I'm guessing that I hadn't successfully done the posting setup on that machine)

_Now_ (after doing posting setup, but before receiving confirmation), I'm
staying logged in to LUGNet, but when I click "Post" and have FTX selected, I
get the "Your post was NOT accepted" message.  I don't get confirming e-mails
anymore 'cause I stay logged into LUGNet (I guess that's why).

It's not really that big of a deal, but I was just getting used to FTX...
