I am 100% with tottie, I posted a video today on Altopia, waited *a couple of
minutes*, then refreshed the headers and all was OK. With Astraweb I would
wait at least 25 minutes if not more to see my post. Look at their headers:
your post come back to you after a... tour in all of the world.
If you choose Altopia, read the FAQ on their site: there is a limitation
on daily posts for new users. An e-mail to their support solves the problem
in a matter of minutes. As a posting server they rocks!
I still use Astraweb as a backup.
