There seems to be lots of bugs that need fixing. A few weeks ago I was getting the "transaction error" every time I posted. The post then disappeared but didn't show up anywhere. I moved to Busy.com until they seemed to get that cleared up but it wasn't really fixed. After that I'd get the "transaction error" or some other red-lettered error notification but my post would appear in the New stream and on my blog. It wouldn't, however, disappear off my posting page and I'd have to manually delete the post if I wanted to create another post. That problem magically disappeared one day but now, when I post, it does not show up on the New stream at all for sometimes up to an hour. This has happened three times in a row now and my posts simply aren't getting seen. I've found them way down in some of my followers feeds but not all. I've seen them in a couple of the 5 hashtagged feeds I'm allowed but not all. I don't think it's intentional, but it's a form of de facto censorship. I've told them at #help and #tech-support on Steemit Chat and they're looking into it and have told me there's a fix coming, but I've been hearing that line for awhile now. Anyone else having problems like this?

I know what you mean. I was getting that error and it was still posting lol
As far as the feed issues. Sometimes they are very low in the tag feed because of the reward system and how it places your post in feed.
I've had to go many pages down to find my posts in feed and sometimes they were so far down i never found them.
I thought this was time based, not value based.
If you didn't find them they probably weren't there. There was a time lag on mine, sometimes over 10 minutes.
Well, actually it is value based. I've proven that many times over. The only time that time comes into play is this:
New feed is entirely time based.
Hot feed is entirely value based but posts must be no more than 4 hrs old and the user that posted them must have a reputation of over 45.
Trending feed is entirely value based for post no older than 7 days (still within payout) and user must have rep over 45.
This structure is definitely one of the main issues of this site and is on my list of future discussion topics.
It makes it very hard to get noticed here.
That's the only one that doesn't work for my posts.
I figured out a workaround, though. If I use #created as one of my tags, it shows up immediately when I post. I'm not sure how important that is, whether the bots focus on the new feed or the tags or whatever. That's all a mystery to me. Therefore I don't know it it's worth giving up one of my 5 allowable tags to simply get on the /created feed. It's a bug that needs fixing and I'm not sure who to report this to since the last time I looked, they were ignoring me in Steemit Chat. #help just blows it off and #tech-support is practically a dead channel.
That's really strange. When I make a post, If i have a second tab open for new tab. I can go there right after I make the post and refresh and it is there. If I wait a few minutes it will be buried though because of so many new posts being made right after mine.
I'm actually wondering if your internet connection has lag? I know that when mine is acting up I will notice all types of weird bugs on steemit.
If not, that is definitely something that needs looked into. I've just never experienced this myself.
I'd maybe blame it on the internet lag except the only place it doesn't show up is on the /created feed. Maybe I should sign out and then back in again. Could be a browser problem, I suppose.
Does Steemit have a "suggestion box" where anyone can drop an idea that might improve Steemit? Nobody would need to answer, necessarily, but some of us might have a workable idea to improve the platform.
haha, that would be nice but as far as I know they do not.
I guess it could be a glitch then. One more thing to the list lol
