Posts keep vanishing

toenail · 5th March 2003, 09:25 PM

As a newbie I spent some time browsing the site before registering and logging on for the first time. I thought I had it figured out but have noticed a problem.

I have made several posts, one starting a thread, one responding within a thread, that vanished after I hit the submit button.

Any ideas?

I did search this forum and saw reference to similar problems but thought they were resolved.

Hi Toenail

As a new user your posts were just awaiting moderation before they were sent to the forums. They should be up now

Thanks for the heads-up.

I've never seen a "break-in" period on an internet forum before. How long do posts usually take be visible for a newbie? How long before I'm not a newbie any more and can converse in "real time"?

TIA

The time taken for a post to become visible is generally less than a couple of hours and that will decrease in the future as we improve the system. Generally speaking, you'll become a normal member sometime before you make your 20th post.

Thanks for the info. Regardless of time delay the site is awesome.
