I assume so...I mean, I saw it displayed on the main page. How long is 
the wait, typically? I dont notice any delays with posting stories, 
only with removing them, so I am not entirely sure what you mean here.

I cannot.

no, not there.

I did try the preview option to see if that would change any of my 
results.

One thing I am uncertain of is the instruction that says:
	2. Wait for slashd to run the refresh_authors.pl task, or run it by 
hand.
I was under the assumption that a restart of slashd and apache in 
whatever order took care of this. No?

Thanks for the continued help. It's much appreciated.
