There was a period when the 'web' interface lost touch with the proper
servers, and posts made through it were delayed for some hours

It's not just you. Some of my posts took hours to get
through on Wednesday

For some reason, this "topic" of late and missing posts is cropping up
in a number of places, all without precision.

You have to remember that the usnet newsgroups are a distributed
application. Been this way for years and years. Read more at

Postings on servers move all around the world to other servers all the
time. At any point in time all servers are never exactly the same as
others and sometimes there will be lags somewhere or another. The
"home" server for all this is of course msnews.microsoft.com, but
*copies* are all over the place all the time.

If you are unsatisfied with the timeliness of the server your are using,
e.g. the ISP's news server, your university's, Google's, your home news
server ... whatever ... contact the people who run that server ... or
use another server.
