Guest Angel Posted July 30, 2007 Posted July 30, 2007 Re: Re:trying to post, no success. (Error Alert?) Hi MEB, Finally success!! This is the post. I guess that persistence pays off!! None of the other ones in the Error Alert string did not show up I wrote some early this morning. I started a 8 this morning I even lost count after 6 times!! I know that this is a long post I sent so bear with it, please. All information important, I think.
