When I added them, I got the usual "your snipe has been successfully added" message, but they do not appear on my dashboard. What's going on? Probably 6 or 8 of them added 11/16. Are they there? If not-- WHY not?

Hello Mark,
Thanks for your question about these snipes. At the time you tried to add the snipes, there was an alert at the top of the page stating that snipes could not be added for a few hours. It happened because our service provider had to perform emergency maintenance on the database server, so we had to wait util they finished.
These kind of maintenance issues only happen once every few years, and only for a short time---so rest assured it's not a reliability issue with our software.
I hope this has been explained to your satisfaction. Thank you for writing in, and please let me know if you have any other questions.
