Sorry, I tried your suggestion, but it didn't make any difference.
I need $sleep_after_edit = 1 to get
any follow up screen at all after a new posting.
If $sleep_after_edit = 0, I always get the Cannot find server screen.

If $sleep_after_edit = 1, after posting, b2e goes to
the Browse/Edit tab, but with only one box, with this content:

Recording post...
Sleeping...

And there it stops.

The word "Done" does not appear, and no other boxes appear
below that point on the screen.

I am no expert, but this may have something to do with the php
flush() command (called in admin/edit_actions.php).
If flush() is commented out, then I get the Cannot find server,
screen, so obviously I need the flush() statement.
The php manual has a cryptic note about some kind of buffer
problem using flush() and Internet Explorer.

What webserver are you running? (exact version?)

And what exact version of IE are you using?

Can you try with a different browser?

Using IE 6.0 on Win2000 w/Service Pack 4
1 - If $sleep_after_edit = 0, I always get the Cannot find server screen.

2 - If $sleep_after_edit = 1, after posting, b2e goes to
the Browse/Edit tab, but with only one box, with this content:

Recording post...
Sleeping...

And there it stops.

Using Netscape 7.1 on Win98 SE, more strange results:

1 - If $sleep_after_edit = 0, I the record posts, but the screen
returns to the New Record tab, with the same data
as the record just posted. So clicking "Blog This" again,
creates a duplicate post, just like the first, without any
indication that the record was posted.

2 - If $sleep_after_edit = 1, just like on the Win2000-IE6 machine:
after posting, b2e goes to
the Browse/Edit tab, but with only one box, with this content:

Recording post...
Sleeping...

And there it stops.

I culled this info by running phpinfo(). Maybe you'll see something
in here:
