   It can mean that.  I think that meaning is more often used in British   
   English than here in America.   
      
   It can also mean to attach a message to a physical cork bulletin board,   
   wall, fencepost, telephone pole, etc., such as "I posted a for sale flyer   
   on the break room bulletin board" or "I posted the lost pet flyers to   
   several phone poles in the neighborhood."
