Bancor Network Token ICO
I participated in the Bancor ICO last week. It wasn't a great first impression. I've years of experience with Bitcoin and other alts but hadn't done anything with ETH. So I set up a wallet, and sent 10 ETH (1 BTC worth at the time) to it. When the BNT ICO started, I tried to send all 10 ETH but didn't understand "gas", and it kept giving me an error like "this won't really go through."
Sending Frustration
So I sent a single ETH at a time. The first transaction took 45 minutes before it confirmed, which was after the one hour "guaranteed open" window had passed, so I checked their site which said the network had been slow, and that they're leaving the window open for three hours. Great! So I can send more.
I sent a second ETH, and that transaction sat pending for several minutes, and then I got a dialog saying it had been canceled, and it disappeared from my transaction list! However, the second ETH was gone, I now had 7.99 ETH.
Finding the Tokens
At that point I decided not to throw good money after bad, and didn't send any more.
I searched for "how to add BNT token to my Ethereum wallet" and followed some steps but it shows zero balance.
Later someone on Trollbox helped me use http://myetherwallet.com to check my address, and I do see 200 BNT in there, so those transactions went through.
Accessing the Tokens?
Which brings us to the help I need: how do I fix my Ethereum Wallet (v 0.8.10, Windows 8.1 x64) such that I can see the BNT contained in my address?
I would post this in "steemit" "bitcoin" also.
I don't have the answer but will re-steem this in case someone sees it and can help.
I'm sure there are a lot of good people here to give the answer.
Thanks @buster544! Upvoted you comment and followed you. :)
Thanks for the tag tips as well! Updated them.
I followed you also to see what response you get. I'm sure someone has the answer
Good Luck!!
FYI, the wallet software apparently updated after a reboot or something, as I now see the 200 BNT in my Ethereum wallet. So, problem solved! :)

By the way I found the answer here:
For some reason this wallet keeps "forgetting" about the BNT, I have to keep adding it per the above link. A little frustrating, especially as it's consuming 186 GB on this laptop for a few BNT...
Neat, though, that when I search for "ethereum wallet how do i see bnt" this post is the second link to come up! The first, being the above URL, which is also neat. Anyway, I'm posting the above link so that when I come back here, I'll see that I've resolved it, even though I can no longer edit this post.
