First check: When you say you get a blank TOC in MOBI do you mean an TOC within the book's contents, or the metadata TOC (i.e. the TOC accessed by presisng the menu button on a kindle or the TOC button in the calibre viewer)
It's blank in Calibre's built in reader when pressing the TOC button as well as in Mobipocket's Desktop reader. I do not currently have a Kindle, but have one on order (thus why I'm converting everything over). So there is a difference between how Calibre and the Kindle use the TOC?

If your headings are all defined with <h3> tags then a simple //h:h3 should suffice in the 'Detect chapters at' box.
Neither of these options made a difference for me.

Thanks again,
