Hi. New member here. I confirmed my account via the email and am able to log in. However, none of my posts seem to appear. Is there a new-user approval queue, or is there a set amount of time that must elapse? PMs work, but neither replies nor new threads.

I looked at the stickies but didn't find any info. Thanks.

We had a bad spam bot issue a while back, so the site's admin had to make some changes to the board to get things under control. One of the changes he made is that new members are "trial" members, meaning their posts are kept invisible until approved by a moderator. So basically, they'll appear as soon as one of us sees them.

Excellent, thank you. I've been on your side of the control panel, and I know what it's like. Thanks for the reply.

Oh god, there would be like ten new members a day posting enourmously long and unintelligible spam posts. There was more spam then legit posts it seemed like for a while.

On this subject, I apologize for double/triple posts.... I looked around for info with no luck untill I found this!

meh just cause i don't want to make a new thread. what the helk is this supposed to mean. i bumped a thread in the multimedia section and wanted to update the post with a video. when i try and paste the url video as image from photobucket and paste it on the thread like i did in the past this comes up :

You are not allowed to use that image extension on this board. A valid format is: http://www.domain.com/picture.gif, an invalid format is: http://www.domain.com/picture.one.gif

bump

How long does this take?

I am sure that by now they know I am not a spam bot.

I am also an ordinary person and I have a normal ST-205.

I tried posting in the "today i worked on..." thread but my posts aren't showing up.

I can't post either... just testing..
