Post not showing

Can anyone help me with the following:

I posted a reply yesterday to an initial post by HappyJack72 titled "Looking for Perth Accountant".  My reply has not appeared on the forum.  When I did a search in My Account for all my posts my reply is there.  Can anyone explain why my reply post has not been displayed on the actual Forum?  Have I done something wrong?  Thanks.

Hi,
Just wondering if anyone can help me. I am new to this site and cant figure out how to post a new topic. I can only comment on other peoples topic...
Its probably staring me right in the face somewhere on this site but I just cant see it. Can you help me?

Hi Lisa,

To post a new forum topic, navigate to the forum you want to post in (where it shows a list of all the topics in the forum), and click the "Post New Forum Topic" button at the top or bottom of the page.

For example:
http://www.propertyinvesting.com/forums/property-investing/help-needed

You can see the button on that page long as you're logged in.
