The new interface defaults to only show posts from that day, I believe. Which is why your post disappears. You can change it to show posts from the last (day/week/month) but I have yet to figure out how to make it the default. I haven't really tried yet.*
And to answer your question, the Q2N data access just uses your minutes as it appears to verizon (or Telus) as voice usage. The XNet is what people get charged (arm+leg)/minute. As for your ability to use it without the $5/mo plan, most of us are experiencing that ourselves. I also have wi-fi, but in dead zones I rely on my slow-as-butt Q2N connection.


*<Edit> Selecting [Misc Links] -> [Edit Options] will display configuration allowing you to specify the age cutoff for posts on the main page. 30 seconds of work, well worth it...</Edit>
