John, If you're trying to post a message, do it just like you did this one. It came through fine. To post to section 15 you must be a dealer and have been granted previous access by our Primary Sysop, Bob Henderson. If you have this access, there should be no problem. But if you haven't yet requested nor received access to this closed section, you will need to send a message to *SYSOP (note the asterisk to make it private to the sysop), and include your name, UID, dealership name, dealership number and your Autodesk contact person. This information will be checked and verified, and access to Section 15 will be granted.

John, On 27DEC94 you posted a message concerning the sale of your Targa+ 64 card to All, and on 28DEC94 you posted the same message to Sysop. Both messages were on the forum, and probably still are as we've had the total message slots for this forum bumped up to increase the scroll time. To post a message concerning the services you can offer, just do it the same way as you did for the Targa card. The only thing we ask is that you don't include pricing in forum messages. If you want to include pricing in your messages, we suggest that you upload the information as a library file rather than a message. Your messages can them tell people to download the file for the information. Also we request that you don't post messages about services or hardware/software more than once a week. But for the most exposure the library file is better. Messages do scroll off the board after a time. Library files are there until they are no longer downloaded for half a year.

There seems to be a miscommunication here. I found two messages from you about a Targa board for sale in the Take 5 Want/Want Ads section One from Tuesday and one from Wednesday (27th and 28th). If these messages are the ones you are referring to, then the problem may have been with the way you software is working. WINCIM requires that you "refresh" the messages after a posting to see it. If you don't, then when you leave, and your visit time gets updated, (the time when you leave) then you won't see the message when you come back in again. If you are talking about a different message, then there is a different problem.
