Delayed Response Time in Posts, How long is it supposed to take to get a reply to post? Options

[gt4play]

Hi all,

I'm relatively new here. I just recently picked up a couple of GTFour WRC's in Canada and have them in storage for 2019. I've been on a number of the php based forums and none of them have taken literally hours to get my replies/posts to publish - which is what I'm encountering here. Is this the case for everybody? Is this a new-user thing where I need a minimum number of posts before I have free reign? Slow queues on the servers? Whatever the case, it's frustrating not knowing when/if my posts are going to show or not.

Thanks!

Unfortunately it varies. It was supposed to be after 5 approved posts, members would be “full” members. It seems that it’s closer to 30+ approved posts now, and unfortunately Coomer doesn’t sign in frequently to fix the bug. It’s a real PITA, I know. I get notifications of pending threads but not individual posts, so we have to check for invisible posts manually. I check newer threads daily for pending posts but if you happen to post in an older thread, you may need to PM myself or one of the other mods so we can approve the post. It’s happened more than once that a post didn’t get noticed for quite a while.

On an unrelated note, I dig the list of cars in your sig.

I saw this after posting a somewhat snarky response, but in all honesty, how many new members are expected to come in and stick around if there's no indication whatsoever as to what happened to their post/reply? I'd get it if I got a "new member canned response" indicating posts needed approval up to a certain number. Then I'd have some kind of idea as to what to expect. I couldn't find it documented anywhere either, hence the dedicated post.
