What does the event log say?  You can reach the event log two ways, either 
clicking on the icon at the bottom right in the status bar, or via the 
file menu, event log entry.  After a posting attempt it should have the 
status message the server sent back.

Also...

What server?  (Some are special purpose and work differently.)

Are you sure your account (if any) with it has posting privs?  (Some 
servers default to download-only or restrict posting from users who have 
copyright violations registered against them, for instance.)

Are you sure the group you're posting to isn't moderated/read-only?

Some servers block attempts to send posts with attachments to a non-binary 
group (where they may define non-binary-group as any without binaries in 
the name, regardless of whether it commonly has binaries in it or not); 
you're not doing that?

Group name (if it's not too sensitive)?

Suggestion if you're not using it already:  Most servers have testing 
groups available (test as part of the name).  It's traditional to try 
posts to those groups first to work out any kinks before trying posts to 
other groups.  I actually subscribe to some test groups long after I no 
longer need to test, both to try to help if I can, and just out of 
curiosity to see what sort of thing people are testing.

While there try both new posts and replies to existing posts.  Maybe one 
works while the other doesn't?

And finally, worth checking as it has happened to me and others... Ensure 
that under view menu, header pane, you don't have some combination of 
settings you forgot about that's hiding your posts, so the posts are 
getting to the group but you're just not seeing them due to pan's view 
settings hiding them.
