Help me out here with some more details... Here are a couple URLs to jog

Were you going through the news-posting setup--?
http://www.lugnet.com/news/post/setup/
or were you going through the news-by-mail setup--?
http://www.lugnet.com/news/mail/

Only the /news/mail/ page sends you an e-mail right away. New submissions
in the /news/post/setup/ area are processed by hand, which may take a day

I think the "Continue" button is only present in the /news/mail/ area --
which is for subscribing to newsgroups via e-mail and not for signing up
to post. Do you remember why you went there after a post was rejected?
