I have tried posting a q about mistletoe tincture suppliers twice; but
when I push the "Pay listing fee and post question"-button it
dissapears. Any clues?

I wonder if this q is posted...

And now it works... Well, I'll retry the original q:-)

The original question still dissapears:-( 

I have tried changing the price, text, subject and category; but no luck.

This is the text: 

"I need an online EU supplier for Mistletoe (Viscum album) tincture
(preferably 1:5, not homeopathic), around 500 ml.

The store must not require a prescription; accept Visa, and be willing
to ship to Norway.

(PS! I have done some searching, and it looks like mistletoe tincture
requires a prescription in the UK, so focus on other countries.)"

Any wild guesses to why Google refuses to post this q? What's the
trigger? Every time I try to post the q I'm sent back to "My page".

It finally worked! 

Feel free to post your own theory as an answer, no matter how far
fetched it might be:-)

Are you by any chance running a local proxy server program such as
Proxomitron, or a filtering program of some sort that causes your
browser to unintentionally cache pages or not execute potentially
maliscious code?

No, not yesterday... Pretty weird since I was able to post this
question with no problems; just not the mistletoe one.

The problem seems to be gone; so it must have been a small glitch.
Good suggestion, so go ahead and post it as an answer:-)

arsenic-ga:

As requested, here are a couple of theories for why this might have happened:

a) a web-filtering program or local proxy, such as Proxomitron,
recoded the Question submission page incorrectly while filtering,
causing the submission button to malfunction; or,

b) you discovered a secret, undocumented word combination that causes
the Question submission engine to spit it back up, sending you back to
the beginning; or,

c) your browser is playing tricks on you, and it's time to pull out
the little voodoo doll shaped like a PC, and remind your computer
who's the real boss!

Glad to see that the problem hasn't repeated itself, and best wishes
for the holidays!

Regards,
